As all we know there were flood every year in Thailand but why this year is so different? Alot of people asked "Where do all the water come from and why many people got damage by this event". Well it all started by that t he rain rates this year are way higher than usual last years. Second, many trees were cut down which replace many houses, factory and dams to control water. Trees are important because Thailand 50 years ago trees act as a natural dams to slow or stop the water down. Third, there are also some people who without know keep water because they scared that this year we will lack for water but it is the opposite. They already kept the water in high level and plus without knowing the heavy rains in this year, they will need to take out some water and in which this happened.
The problem about Thailand's flood situation are garbages because as we saw in the news there are many colorful objects flowing on the water and the water started to smell which could cause human to get diseases like skin disease or some illness. Second problem is about when to move out if the water is coming because many people who are caring about their important objects scared thief will stole it while you are away cause of the flood but think other way if the water come its level is high and you are still inside the house you can't get out so the recuse team need to wasting their time on helping you. I mean if we could clean up the garbage then many people would don't need to get skin diseases because of water with mixing garbage or worst there might be people who pee or taking a dump in the water. And for people who know that their house will flood, just prepare and leave the house when water come the recuse teams have alot of work to do so at least help your self first. And to be honest not only people who are suffered from flood...animals too.
The best way to practices to be safe in this situation. First is up to preparedness, when you are sure that your area will be flood buy long paper plastic, sand bags or build up a wall that high as half of your body. Second is about if the public warnings for floods watching the level stay tuned to the radio or TV, make up travel plan and get electronic things or important objects on a high place or if it possible be ready to cut out the electricity if the water is at a high level. For prepare in the future, just be sure to not take the water in dams too high, watch the rain rates in each year and some dams that used for control water are quite old so they should improve them for a better prepare.
