Thailand urges households to prepare 72-hour emergency bags
· 50-word read
In 50 words
Thailand's Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) urged households to pack emergency bags for the first 72 hours of a disaster. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told the public to stay aware but not panic. Other countries have asked residents to prepare kits. DDPM calls the bags a precaution.
Why it matters
DDPM said the bags can also help in flash floods, landslides, earthquakes, fires, riots, sabotage or disease outbreaks, so the advice applies to everyday risks in Thailand, not only the Middle East conflict.
