BANGKOK Metropolitan Administration (BMA) today (Oct. 4) said it is gearing up to ask the private sector to allow their staff to work from home during Oct. 5-7 to avoid the impact of torrential rain as some people were stranded in the floods last evening, Amarin TV said.

 

Bangkok Deputy Governor Tavida Kamolvej admitted that draining of floodwater yesterday was slow with this being due to the heavy downpour. However floodwater has almost completely gone today but some alleys are still inundated.

 

BMA has worked out a plan to cope with more heavy rainfall during Oct. 5-7 as forecast by the Meteorological Department with Deputy Governor Wisanu Sapsomphon implementing it. Initially more sandbags and barriers are being built in flood prone areas.

Not included is the vast amount of water heading Bangkoks way, I would estimate that in Loei it was only 30 cm short of the record flood 20 years ago

You mean those who can't get to work without a submarine, should be given permission to work from home?

Dear god do they never progress beyond these measures?

Do they ever think of increasing drainage in areas that are prone to flooding?
