On August 21, 2026, Deputy Interior Minister Jedsad Thaiset traveled to Pua District in Nan Province to continuously drive relief and rehabilitation efforts following the recent floods, aiming to assess property damage and household impacts firsthand.
The visit focused on direct dialogues with local residents to understand their hardships and asset losses. This approach ensures that resource allocation and government assistance are precisely targeted, swift, and aligned with the actual needs of disaster victims.
This mission represents a major multi-agency integration involving the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM), the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, the Provincial Waterworks Authority, the Department of Provincial Administration, and volunteer forces. Personnel and heavy machinery were mobilized to clear thick mud, debris, and restore damaged utilities.

Key resources deployed by the DDPM for this operation include four mud loaders and flood debris trucks, eight 6-wheel dump trucks, one mobile water production unit, one field kitchen vehicle, and one 10,000-liter water tanker to accelerate house cleaning operations.
Post-flood rehabilitation is often as critical as crisis management because lingering mud and debris pose severe sanitation and livelihood challenges. The direct deployment of high-level leadership alongside heavy machinery highlights a shift towards proactive disaster recovery, emphasizing community engagement and swift structural restoration.
"Post-flood assistance must continue immediately because people's hardships do not end when the water level drops."

Mr. Jedsad emphasized that the mission does not end with receding waters, as the primary goal is full recovery so that the people of Pua can return home and resume their livelihoods. Furthermore, all relevant agencies have been instructed to closely monitor weather patterns and maintain high readiness for any future changes.
