Bangkok: Keep an eye on Kajiki. Many provinces in the North are preparing for floods and landslides. Several northern provinces, particularly those previously hit by major flooding in Nan, the Mae Sai border region, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai, are accelerating preparations for Tropical Storm Kajiki, whose impact is expected to become clear starting tomorrow. In addition to the risk of flash floods and landslides, some areas are also at risk of mudslides.
According to Thai News Agency, villages near the foothills of a mountain in Nan Province, where a landslide previously affected dozens of homes, have been evacuated for safety reasons. Preparations are underway to mitigate the anticipated impact, with local authorities coordinating efforts to ensure the safety and well-being of residents.
Emergency response teams have been deployed in vulnerable areas to monitor and address any developments promptly. Residents have been advised to stay informed and follow the guidance of local officials as the storm approaches. The focus remains on minimizing the potential damage and ensuring a swift response to any emergencies that may arise.
