Government Complex braces for rising floodwater

The Government Complex has made preparations to deal with rising floodwater on Chaeng Wattana Road and may relocate flood evacuees sheltered there, a senior official said Monday.

Naris Chaiyasut, the director-general of the Treasury Department, said the relocation of flood evacuees would be the last measure in case of blackout following riside water.
He said so far the evacuees could be moved upstairs.
Naris said officials had placed sandbags around the main power generator of the complex to prevent disruption of power supply.
But if the evacuees had to be moved out, the Social Development and Human Security Ministry would provide vehicles to transport the evacuees to shelters in nearby provinces, Naris said.
