PHUKET: The Director of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Phuket office (DDPM) Prapan Kanprasang has today (Jan 16) confirmed that all tsunami warning towers at 19 locations in Phuket are “100% working”, after reports were filed by Kamala resident stating that there was no siren sound at Kamala’s warning tower during a check carried out yesterday (Jan 15).

 

The resident sent a complaint via the local Line group “Alert news Phuket Line Group” saying that there was no siren sound during the second “bi-monthly” check conducted by the DDPM at 11am yesterday morning.

 

Deputy Chief Executive of the Kamala sub-district Administrative Organisation (OrBorTor) Nopporn Karuna and Mr Prapan both argued that the Kamala tower is in fact working.
