This project aims to create natural disaster warning networks from both public and private organizations located in risk areas and to educate communities in disasters preparedness.
Under the project, the
National Disaster Warning Center will provide training and workshop programs to
community leaders in 20 provinces.
The community leaders will
be educated in various kinds of natural disasters, how to deal with the
situation effectively, as well as what they can do to minimize their risks in
case of emergency.
In this program, the
National Disaster Warning Center also introduces to the community leaders the
channel to reach the disaster warning information, and they are advised to
monitor the situation directly from the National Disaster Warning Center’s
website www.ndwc.go.th.
The National Disaster
Warning Center is responsible for disseminating warning messages on all kinds
of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, landslides,
drought, and forest fires.
The center also provides
officials and the general public with knowledge on emergency response, conducts
warning and evacuation drills with related agencies, and analyzes the severity
of natural disasters in order to provide information to agencies responsible
for dealing with disasters.
These efforts are intended
to alert people quickly about the possibility of natural disasters and reduce
the country’s vulnerability with appropriate measures and preparedness.
