Interdisciplinary investigation on the Chao Phraya River Part 2:

Preliminary survey on disaster management system in local level

Abstract

Local government and municipality system in Thailand consists of a bit complicated structure in 2 lines. Thus, it is difficult to understand the role of disaster response by each organization and the arrangement of data sharing and collaboration. We conducted interviews to local governments and municipalities in the lower Chaophraya River basin and the Northeastern Thailand. Based on the information obtained through limited numbers of interviews, we tried to partially summarize the role of disaster response and it’s actual condition in local government and municipality in Thailand.
