Hat Yai municipality is dredging canals, clearing fallen trees and adding pumps (18 now, wants more than 20) ahead of this year's flood season, with the Songkhla governor coordinating alerts. The city has submitted over 1,000 million baht in projects but is unsure how much will be approved; the transport minister has allocated over 20 million baht for canal dredging. For a Hat Yai business, the practical step is to check flood exposure on your street, move stock and equipment off ground level early, and watch official alerts from the Songkhla governor's office.
