In Chachoengsao, the Marine and Coastal Resources Office Region 2 has dispatched flat-bottomed boats and personnel to Bang Khla district to distribute supplies and relief packages. They are also providing essential equipment and support until the situation improves.
In Prachinburi, 64 officers have been mobilized to fill and transport sandbags, support water pumping efforts, and install two water pumps to enhance drainage. Additionally, 200 liters of bio-fermented water have been distributed to address stagnant and smelly floodwater issues.
The Regional Water Resources Office 6 has been instrumental in installing water pumps in municipal areas across Prachinburi, Mueang Chachoengsao, and Ongkharak District in Nakhon Nayok, improving drainage efficiency and reducing the flood impact on residents.
Mr. Suchart has emphasized the importance of closely monitoring the situation and expediting public assistance, particularly in water drainage and recovery preparations, under the motto of working together and leaving no one behind.
