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.
