BANGKOK, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) — Thai Prime Minister Anuthin Chanvirakun on Tuesday declared a state of emergency in the southern province of Songkhla due to severe flooding that has hit the south of the country.
The government has established a dedicated command centre to coordinate rescue operations in response to unprecedented rainfall and flooding, which have caused extensive property damage and posed a serious threat to public safety.
Monsoon-induced flooding has affected nine southern provinces of Thailand, affecting around 2.2 million people and killing 13, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.
Thailand's meteorological department has warned that a strong northeast monsoon and low-pressure area covering the southern part of the country and Malaysia are expected to bring prolonged heavy rainfall, significantly increasing the risk of flash flooding and runoff from mountain slopes. –0–
