Seven districts of Bangkok are at risk of flooding and people in the areas should move their belongings to higher places, according to Bangkok Governor Sukhmbhand Paribatra. The seven districts are Lat Krabang, Nong Chok, Minburi, Khlong Samwa, Kannayao, Saimai, and Bangkhen.
MR Sukhumbhand said the flood water was heading down to these areas through the broken dyke at Khlong Rapipat. The water level could be higher than the floodwalls of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and inundate the districts.
The Bangkok governor said BMA would provide information about water situation in risk areas every three hours.
He stressed that this warning was not a signal for an immediate evacuation as the water level would slowly rise and the local residents would have about 24 hours for preparations.
According to the close monitoring of the flood situation by BMA, it appears that a volume of flood would reach Khlong Rangsit by 20 October 2011 and consequently reach Khlong Sam Wa by the day afterwards. BMA, therefore, is increasing the height of the water barrier along the Khlong Hok Wa from 2.50 meters to 3.00 meters. above the Mean Sea Level. In assisting the performance of this enormous task the First Army Region has provided BMA with great number of personnel. The task will be performed around the clock and would be finished by today (October 20).
BMA has additionally designated five more locations for the preparation of sand bags, namely,
1) The Rithayawannalai School 2
2) The Khlong Lum Mor Taek Area
3) The Hathairaj Road Area
4) The Center for Construction and Maintenance No. 1
5) The Center for Construction and Maintenance No. 3
BMA suggested people living above the water barriers along the Khlong Hok Wa and the Khlong Song may seek temporary accommodation at the designated Centers of Relief Operation.
It should be noted that this procedure is not an evacuation but parts of the steps of mobilization.
