Preventive measures at Tak's border camps tightened

Preventive measures at Tak's border camps tightened

Tak Governor Suriya Prasartbundit ordered Monday preventative measures to be implemented at three other border camps housing 100,000 refugees - Mae La in Tha Song Yang, Nupo in Umphang and Umpiem in Phop Phra district.

This includes volunteers to “guard” camps from forest/household fires, setting up a fire drill, and escape routes. Local bodies were also urged to prepare fire engines in case of emergencies. 

Ban Umpiem camp also suffered a non-casualty fire that burned down 1,000 homes and left about 3,000 people homeless last year.
