On September 20, 2024, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seri Supratid, Director of the Climate Change and Disaster Center at Rangsit University and Vice President of the National Disaster Warning Council Foundation, shared an urgent flood risk update on Facebook regarding "Storm Soulik."

 

He highlighted areas at high risk of heavy rainfall with more than 70% severity, which could pose serious threats to life and property.

 

According to Dr. Seri, the Water Crisis Relief Team, Civil Society, and the National Disaster Warning Council Foundation have updated their forecasts. Various provinces face potential flooding, with different areas becoming vulnerable on specific days.

 

People living in areas marked in blue on the flood risk maps should remain alert and prepared for possible emergencies.


Dr. Seri’s team, in collaboration with ESRI, has developed a high-resolution flood simulation model specifically for urban communities in Nong Khai, Khon Kaen, Chiang Mai, and Lampang. Residents in blue or purple zones are advised to stay vigilant and monitor local weather updates.

 

“We cannot afford further losses,” Dr. Seri urged, calling for readiness and cooperation. Communities requiring assistance from the Water Crisis Relief Team can reach out to Mr. Noppadol Makthong at 099-0288333.
