InfoQuest (August 06, 2019) -- General Anupong Paochinda, Thailand's ministry of interior, noted that the drought had been alleviated; yet rainfall in northeast region is still decreasing, which entails relief measures if the situation persists. He had ordered provinces to move faster and investigate the water reserve in each region; if enough water is available, governors should order people to pump water collectively and offer relief to neighboring dry regions; he stressed that a preliminary assessment should be made beforehand.
As for the mudslide in Mae Hong Son and Tak, General Anupong said that he had ordered local authorities to pay attention to potential regions where mudslide is prone to happen amid the persistent rainfall, and governors and county mayors should evacuate people according to a pre-set plan.
