PHUKET: Phuket disaster officials are conducting a two-day workshop to draw up plans to respond to possible flash floods and mudslides across the island brought on by heavy rain, while ensuring emergency workers are protected from COVID-19.

 

Phuket Vice Governor Vikrom Jakthee chaired the opening of the ‘Table Top Exercise TTX’, at the Region 18 Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Center in Phuket Town yesterday (Aug 26).

 

The two-day workshop, which concludes today (Aug 27), comes after a week of intermittent heavy downpours causing minor flooding in isolated areas across Phuket.

I thought the policy of the general was to double vax all first responders ah same as the old and sick - no HiSo support.
