The Interior Ministry's Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department has started flood relief transfers under the 29 September cabinet resolution. The first batch covers 611 households: 594 in Sa Kaeo and 17 in Krabi, paid through Government Savings Bank and expected in accounts on the morning of Thursday 8 October. For a business in those provinces, this matters if you employ or serve affected households, or if you are waiting on your own flood claims. The article also says the Meteorological Department's director-general nomination is still moving through the cabinet secretariat, which is unlikely to affect SME operations directly.
