Officials coordinated with local government and community leaders to prepare flood response plans, survey at-risk areas, and arrange integrated assistance.

Authorities have warned residents to prepare for continuous rainfall between September 23-27, 2025. The rapid-response team is stationed temporarily in Bang Baal district during this period to provide immediate assistance to flood victims, operating under the principle that the military serves the people in all circumstances.
