"Anutin" confirms that there is enough food for flood victims, says all systems are being used to fight. This is the time to fight natural disasters, not the time to criticize each other. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, gave an interview about the private sector stating that Chiang Rai Province does not have enough food. From what he has seen from the area, he is confident that the government has prepared enough food and daily necessities. There is an additional budget for the governors of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, 100 million baht each. If there is not enough, the budget can be increased. Anutin emphasized that the government has prepared enough food and necessities. Everyone is trying to help each other. This is not the time to criticize. Everyone should do their own job the best. The people who benefit are those who are currently suffering. As for the warning system, Anutin said that there is a warning system that has been used all the time. We have collaborated wi th the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation to develop a more accurate system by capturing from satellites. In the past, we have tried to use all forms of warning, whether it is a high-tech system, a door-to-door system, or an evacuation system. Anutin said that we are currently fighting natural disasters. Every time we go to the area, we receive reports from governors of every area that we ask that there not be a large amount of rain or flash floods to worsen the situation, because this is beyond control. However, what we must prepare the most is to alleviate, provide relief, and protect the lives of our fellow citizens. You will see that recently we have been using a warning system on-site, which means that there are almost no deaths. As for the assistance from the Ministry of Interior to help those affected, it will cover all areas that have been declared as flood disasters, which are related to floods and storms, including landslides. You will see that the governors of the prov inces have given details of which areas are disaster areas, divided into zones. They have not announced the entire province, which is proof that those involved are meticulous, because if they wanted it to be easy, they could have announced the entire province.
