PM orders upgrade of flood relief efforts in three NE provinces to speed up operations

 

 

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha has ordered the status of public disaster prevention and mitigation in Ubon Ratchathani, Roi Et and Yasothon raised to Level Three, due to the seriousness of the flooding there.  

 

Upon his return to Bangkok, from an inspection trip to Ubon Ratchathani with the Prime Minister on Thursday night, Interior Minister Anupong Paochinda explained that the flooding warrants the raising of situation level, which means that all agencies concerned must speed up relief efforts to help the flood victims, including, if necessary, bypassing of bureaucratic red tape in budget disbursement.

 

However, he said that the overall relief operations are still under the supervision of the Prime Minister. Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan is due to chair a tele-conference with all provincial governors on Monday, at the Department of Public Disaster Prevention and Mitigation of Public Disasters, to discuss preventive measures and relief operations in flooded provinces.
