Police Deploy Teams to Aid Mae Ai Flood Victims
Police volunteer teams are helping Mae Ai District residents clean up after July 30 flooding that damaged homes and blocked roads, with officers also monitoring landslide-prone areas for safety risks.
Police volunteer disaster relief teams have been mobilized to help residents in Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai recover and clean homes damaged by severe flooding. On July 30, heavy rains caused flash floods, landslides, and fallen trees across multiple areas, damaging homes, roads, and transportation routes throughout the district. A fallen tree blocked the entrance road to Ban Pang Ton Duea temple, disrupting traffic until local officials, village leaders, and residents worked together to clear it and restore normal access.
Mae Ai District Police Commander Rungrojn Thakurupunyasiri has ordered a team of 20 volunteer police officers, led by deputies Thawatchai Surintta and Suwit Thongduang, to assist with mud cleanup, landscaping restoration, and filling sandbags for affected residents. The team will also maintain 24-hour surveillance of landslide-risk zones, with evacuation procedures ready to deploy immediately if conditions become dangerous.
