Pattaya on High Alert: 9 Flood-Prone Areas Monitored 24/7 for Heavy Rainfall

Pattaya City in Chonburi Province, eastern Thailand, is intensifying its alert for heavy rainfall expected from September 23 to 27. City authorities have decided to monitor nine areas identified as high-risk for flooding on a 24-hour basis to prepare for the situation. This measure comes in light of reported flood damage in neighboring areas due to heavy rains. Pattaya City is strengthening its monitoring system to ensure citizen safety and prompt response, while also preparing evacuation plans and relief operations in case of flood incidents. Furthermore, sandbags will be distributed to help residents prepare for potential floods. Those in need can contact the city's hotline at '1337' to request sandbags. This initiative aims to minimize flood damage through cooperation between citizens and the administration. Pattaya is also a renowned tourist destination, and infrastructure development and disaster preparedness are crucial for the stability of the local economy. The enhanced monitoring and citizen support measures are likely considered with these factors in mind. Source: MGR Online (Regional)
