Aid after damages checked

The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) explained yesterday that the Bt5,000perfamily compensation would only be granted in cases where flash flooding has damaged properties or homes have been flooded for more than seven days.

 

BMA officials will survey and certify the homes of each family affected before submitting a list of names to a district office for inspection. The list would then be checked by the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department to prevent repetition, before the aid is paid out by the Government’s Saving Bank. Those applying for compensation are required to submit house registration papers, a copy of the ID card, lease and a lease certification letter from the local administrative organisation as well as photographs of the damages to the nearest district office.
