Providing Aid for the Flood-Affected
In an effort to support victims of the devastating floods of 2024, the Thai government issued a Cabinet resolution to offer assistance to those affected in the sub-districts of Bophut and Maenam. This resolution set the stage for a community meeting that would play a critical role in the disbursement of aid.
The Gathering at Two Temples
On the afternoon of February 6, 2025, corresponding to January 8-14, 2525 in the Buddhist calendar, two key locations became hubs of hope and coordination: Wat Sawang Arom and Wat Phu Khao Thong. It was here that registered flood victims congregated to take the next steps in receiving government assistance.
A Show of Solidarity and Support
The meeting was spearheaded by an array of key figures, including the district clerk and deputy town clerk. Members of the municipal council, government department heads, and representatives from the Surat Thani Provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office’s Koh Samui branch underscored their commitment by their presence. Community committee members, municipal employees, and Social Welfare Department staff joined hands, embodying a community united against adversity.
The Agenda: Verification and Forwarding
Central to the meeting was the objective to verify and endorse the accuracy of the flood victims’ registration details. The local administrators were tasked with the crucial role of certifying these details, which would then be forwarded to the Koh Samui District Office. There, further checks would confirm the eligibility of individuals for the next phase of assistance.
Community Participation
The residents of the Bophut and Maenam sub-districts actively engaged in the proceedings, ensuring that their voices were heard and their situations respectfully considered. The meeting signified more than just a bureaucratic formality; it was a platform for real-time feedback and communal decision-making.
Assistance Beyond the Meeting
The community meeting was just one step in the ongoing process of recovery and support. Further information and guidance for flood victims remain accessible through the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department of the Koh Samui City Municipality.
