"Thirat", Deputy Minister of Interior, confirmed that there was a flood warning in Phayao. He admitted that some areas, the people were waiting to monitor the situation. However, the water came quickly, causing them to be unable to move their belongings in time. He is expediting the damage survey to provide assistance as soon as possible. He ignored "Supanat"'s criticism of the division of work for the Ministry of Interior. He asked to do the best that he could. Ms. Thirat Rattanasri, Deputy Minister of Interior, said about the warning of disasters to the public that the warnings in the area come in many forms, both written, officials announcing over loudspeakers and radio broadcasts. As for the area of Payap University that did not receive any notification, it is considered that it is a private area that may not be able to access the warning in the form of civil servants going to the area. And what is being considered in the future is notification via mobile phones. On the day of the meeting, the Departme nt of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) had a meeting with the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and mobile phone service providers. Then, notifications via mobile phones will be available. The system is in the process of being ready and has been in operation since the time when the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society was the host of the system installation. But it must be admitted that in the area of Payap University, the rain came in the middle of the night, around 2 a.m. It also came fast and strong, so when you wake up, you may be shocked. However, it is confirmed that there are notifications and a system ready. Ms. Thirat said about the criticism that the notification was delayed that in every area that officials have already notified, but the people are still waiting to monitor the situation, so they are not prepared for the relocation. Ms. Thirat spoke about the case where Mr. Suphanat Meenchainan, MP for Bangkok, Prachachon Party, disagreed with the division of work of the Ministry of Interior, saying that it was okay, let's leave this matter for now. Today, I came to work to help Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and saw that no matter whose work is under whose supervision, everyone can help each other. However, I personally will do the assigned duties to the best of my ability. Ms. Thirat continued that the Prime Minister has ordered to reduce the steps of the documents for compensation for people affected by the flood and confirmed that it will be done as quickly as possible. The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation will survey the damage and provide compensation for the damage. He has assigned every ministry to help look after the compensation for the people. However, the current concern is the insufficient number of personnel, so he asks everyone to participate. Source: Thai News Agency
