BANGKOK: -- The Interior Ministry yesterday ordered governors of provinces nationwide except in the South to set up flood prevention and alleviation centres to deal with ongoing flooding in many provinces.The order was issued by Interior Ministry permanent secretary Krissada Boonraj.

 

Krissada stated in the order that floodwaters from the Yom River basin and Ping River basin had moved downstream to the Chao Phraya River basin down in Chainat, Lop Buri and Angthong.

 

He said many provinces were experiencing two types of floods - runoff triggered by heavy downpours and the bloated Chao Phraya bursting its banks.

Oh no! Two types of floods. Thank god they waited. It would have been terrible to have had everything ready for just one type of flood.

It is really flooding, shouldn't they be preparing for ' water waiting to drain away ' ?
