MEA warns residents as storm approaches

By The Nation

 

 

The Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) said people should inspect power poles and cables near their residences before the expected arrival of a storm on March 5.

 

The Thai Meteorological Department has reported that a summer storm might pass through Thailand, bringing heavy rain, strong wind and hails to Bangkok tomorrow.

 

MEA staff are checking electrical devices on the power poles to lower the risks of accidents which might occur as the storm hits.

 

People are told to report broken electrical devices to the MEA via phone number 1130 or its social media channels.

i think they should lower the power meters on the poles some more. you know the one with the wires hanging out the bottom?

 

right now only six year old can reach them.

Interesting one day prediction.

 

You can see the satellite and rain radar on the following Thai Meteorological Department website. Click 'Home' and you get a dropdown menu and on the right you'll see the buttons.

Have torch lights and batteries at hand.

Charge your phones and power banks.

That's what I would suggest.

 

Just the same as PEA. There is no maintenance program, fix it when the power goes out is their modus operandi.

You don't understand the Thai way. They have issued a warning so have done their part and have a clear conscience if something goes wrong. They can blame someone - anyone - else. They also haven't had to actually do anything at all, except talk.
