On Wednesday, it said Nakhon Ratchasima and Suphan Buri were two provinces still dealing with the disaster, while local governments were working hard trying to solve the problems. The department, together with local governments, have evacuated people affected by floodwater and delivered aid packages to those in need. There is a continued draining of floodwaters from residential areas. Damages to careers, livelihoods, residences, agriculture, livestock and infrastructure will be covered by the Finance Ministry.
