Flood barrier collapses in In Buri, Sing Buri — three villages submerged, water surges toward key areas
Flood barrier collapses in Sing Buri’s In Buri district, sending water into three villages and toward key areas; residents urged to evacuate urgently
At 4.40pm on November 12 2025, a flood barrier between Moo 5 and Moo 4 of In Buri subdistrict, Sing Buri province, near Wat Prasat, collapsed under rising water pressure, causing a severe breach and releasing a massive volume of water. The breach occurred when the temporary embankment and repair line built to block floodwater could no longer withstand the force of the current.
The torrent of water rapidly flooded three villages — Moo 5, Moo 4, and Moo 3 — in In Buri subdistrict. According to disaster monitoring teams, the water is now flowing toward major community and government areas, including:
• In Buri District Office
• In Buri Police Station
• Wat Samrong
Authorities issued an urgent warning to residents in affected zones to move valuables to higher ground, relocate vehicles to safe areas, and monitor official alerts closely. The Disaster Warning Centre has urged people to act immediately to minimise loss and damage.
Residents have been advised to follow these safety measures:
Move belongings to higher ground — Relocate valuables, electronics, and important documents to upper floors or elevated areas immediately.
Move vehicles — Drive cars and motorcycles out of flood-prone areas to higher or designated safe locations.
Stay informed — Closely follow official announcements and updates from disaster prevention and relief agencies.
Officials are now working to assess the situation and reinforce flood control operations to prevent further damage.
