The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation of Thailand has indicated that six provinces in the country are still affected by flooding, impacting approximately 74,000 people. However, as water levels are gradually decreasing in some areas, certain locations have already begun post-disaster recovery efforts.
The Department stated that it is currently cooperating with provincial governments, local administrative bodies, volunteers, foundations, and other relevant organizations to provide assistance to affected residents, including evacuation, drainage, and other relief and rescue measures.
As of the 21st, Nan, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Phetchabun, Sakon Nakhon, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces are still experiencing flooding, involving a total of 16 districts, 61 subdistricts, and 363 villages.
Nan province remains the hardest-hit area, with 7 districts affected and involving 21,050 households, or 66,097 people. Previously, some roads in this area were submerged, affecting transportation, but now the water levels have begun to subside.
The water levels in Sukhothai province have now stabilized, while in Phitsanulok province, they remain stable as well.
In areas where the flooding has receded, local officials have started cleaning mud and debris from houses, roads, and public facilities to help residents return home as soon as possible.
