PHUKET:-- The tsunami-evacuation drill announced last month to be held at Patong Beach this Thursday (Mar 7) has been called off in order to not cause a panic among tourists.

 

Instead, an evacuation drill – complete with the tsunami-warning towers sounding the alarm – will be held at the end of April, Prapan Kanprasang, Chief of the Phuket Provincial Office of the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM-Phuket), told The Phuket News today (Mar 5).

 

“Patong Municipality and DDPM-Phuket initially planned to hold a tsunami-evacuation training session for officials at the Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa over two days, on March 6-7,” Mr Prapan said.
