China News Service, Bangkok, October 4 (Li Yingmin, Wang Qi) Data released by the Thailand Disaster Prevention and Reduction Department on October 4 showed that as of 6:00 on the 4th, the Thai capital Bangkok and 27 provinces continued to be affected by floods, with approximately 1.171 million families and 3.263 million people affected. The Thai government is stepping up disaster relief and making arrangements to deal with possible heavy rainfall in the next few days.

According to the Public Relations Department of the Prime Minister's Office of Thailand on the 4th, floods have occurred in some areas of Thailand due to factors such as continued heavy rainfall and increased water inflows from the northern region. The government requires relevant departments to strengthen disaster monitoring and early warning, release information to the public in a timely manner, and at the same time do a good job in personnel transfer, avoidance, and rescue material support.

Thailand's Disaster Prevention and Reduction Department stated that various places are continuing to carry out water discharge, road cleaning, and rescue of disaster-stricken people. The government also encourages disaster-stricken people to apply for relevant assistance. Currently, 65 provinces and 50 districts in Bangkok have launched mobile applications to register flood relief information.

The Thai Meteorological Department predicts that there will still be heavy rainfall in northern, northeastern, central and other areas of Thailand in the near future, and some areas may have heavy to heavy rainfall. The government reminds the public to pay close attention to changes in weather and water conditions, especially those living along rivers, low-lying areas, and areas prone to flash floods and mudslides, and to take precautions in advance.

Thai Prime Minister Anutin recently asked relevant departments to strengthen disaster prevention and reduction work, ensure that shelters are clean, safe and have normal conditions for use, and deploy emergency supplies and rescue forces to reduce the impact of floods on the safety of people's lives and property.
