PHUKET: -- Disaster officials and local civil defence volunteers were deployed to provide assistance throughout Thalang District as heavy rains battered the northern half of Phuket yesterday (Sept 21).

 

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) Phuket office reported that by 11:30am the Thalang area had already been subjected to 95.6mm of rainfall, said Phuket Vice Governor Snith Sriwihok.

 

“Many areas were flooded, including the old road leading to the airport [running parallel to the runway], the I Leaf Town housing estate in Srisoonthorn and the Ao Por area in Pa Khlok,” Vice Governor Snith said.
