Geological Agency Warns 25 Provinces of Landslide and Flash Flood Risk
Thailand's Disaster Geological Operations Center warned 25 provinces of landslide and flash flood risks between September 24-27, 2025, as a low-pressure system brings heavy rainfall across the north, central, northeast, and eastern regions.
On September 24, 2025, the Disaster Geological Operations Center of the Department of Natural Resources, Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, issued a warning for landslides and flash floods. The department has asked monitoring volunteers and the public across 25 provinces to remain vigilant between September 24-27, 2025.

The warning is due to a strong low-pressure system over southern Vietnam moving across Cambodia and into Thailand, bringing heavy rainfall that may trigger landslides. Monitoring volunteers have been asked to continuously measure rainfall and issue alerts to villagers if incidents occur, while coordinating with relevant agencies according to established preparedness plans.
