PM instructs agencies to prepare for impact of tropical storm Gaemi

Agencies have been instructed to prepare for tropical storm Gaemi, which will impact Thailand over the weekend, Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said Wednesday.

 

She said she has instructed the authorities to release water retained in dams upstream and to clean up the Bangkok drainage system. The government will help the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority (BMA) and the surrounding provinces to drain water in case of heavy rain from the storm.
More pumps will be installed to help drain water more quickly.
