Flood-mudslide warning towers to be installed in 144 locations
The National Disaster Warning Center is preparing to install flood-mudslide warning towers in 144 locations, starting at the end of this year.
Dr. Smith Dharmasaroja, the Chairman of the National Disaster Warning Center, says global warming has contributed to the flooding conditions in many areas. He says flood-mudslide warning towers will be set up in 144 areas in northern, northeastern and central Thailand. He says the towers will be installed in flood disaster prone areas during the initial stage.
The towers will warn public members of potential flooding conditions 30 minutes or one hour before they occur.
