They prevent what exactly?

The PM promised no floods this year, everything was in-hand and actions were being taken to prevent floods.

They're more into mitigation than prevention.

Is this Prawit's masterplan in action?

They obviously didn't think much of my suggestion to rename "The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM)" to "The Department for Clearing out the Drains when there is Nothing else to do in the Dry Season (DCDNDS)".
