Centre set up to deal with Storm Gaemi

An adhoc operation centre was set up Thursday to cope with flood situation in Bangkok and elsewhere in a 30-day period as a result of Tropical Storm Gaemi which is expected to hit Thailand by the weekend.

 

The centre, dubbed the Joint Operation Centre on Water Drainage in Lowlying Areas and based in Bangkok Thai Tower off Phaya Thai Road in Bangkok, will be operational from October 1-31 and coordinating relevant operations among agencies involved, said Royol Jitdon, a keyman in the government's overall flood and water management operations.
