Flood in Thailand is currently suffering from 6 Billion Dollars to the Thai economy. Bangkok governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra, orders everybody to evacuate the situation in order for their country to survive. First priorities are helping the sick, escorting the youths, assiting the elders. Thousands of people have moved from their districts as the flood advances more into Central Bangkok. The flood has conquered the lower areas of the capital and the flood in rapidly moving faster than they expected. Thai government states that everybody should continue to move and should be aware of infections, electrocution, and whatever else is laying in the waters. The flood is said to be coming from 2 directions and medical assistance is needed. Thai asked for 3 weeks worth of medical supplies for the sick.
Over three months, the number of people killed has gone up by 366. Bangkok's secondary airport has officially shut down by the heavy flood. Thai government announced a 5 day weekend from Oct. 27 to 31st.
More than two million people has been affected by the flood and over nine million people have lost their livelihood in Thailand. Valuables are said to move up into higher elevation. Shelters are given to over 100,000 people and 700,000 needed for treatment. Currently 640,000 people don't have a job and the big companies such as Nikon had to close down their operation. I hope everybody in Thailand are doing what they can do to fix this situation and that the government knows what they are doing to ensure that survivors are accountant able.
