Vice Chairman of House Committee on Environment encouraged public awareness of natural disaster warnings and evacuation exercises

Commenting on natural disasters, experienced by the 6 coastal provinces of the Andaman, Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Environment, Premsak Pieryura, pointed out that the comprehensive early warning system is the most important factor. This, he said, should have participation from local government with technical and financial support from the central government. Mr. Premsak also placed the public awareness on early warning and evacuation exercises as important issues, saying that they would help prevent or reduce loss of lives or property. Since December 26th 2004, some tsunami evacuation drills had been conducted in the Andaman provinces of Phuket, PhnagNga and Krabi such as on Patong beach, Ban Nam Kem in Phang-Nga and Krabi's Ban Bangsak. Krabi is also planning an evacuation drill at the popular Ao Nang beach this Thursday.
