Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra Wednesday warned residents of seven districts to get prepared for possible flooding and monitor announcements of the city administration.
Sukhumbhand said Sai Mai, Bang Khen, Klong Samwa, Nong Chok, Min Buri and Lat Krabang could be flooded after Klong Song, Klong Si, Klong Ha and Klong Hok’s sluice gates were opened to let upstream wasters into the Rangsit Canal.
Sukhumband said the residents of the districts should not panic but should move their items and power plugs to high grounds.
He said the city administration would evaluate the situation in 24 hours and would issue statements every three hours until the situation eases.
He said the city administration has also drafted evacuation plan, which could be enforced immediately if needed.
