Deputy PM Thongsak Thongsri says the government has 9 measures ready for El Niño-linked floods and drought. Initial prevention and relief will be paid from provincial Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Office (PPP) budgets, with the central contingency fund as backup if those run short. No new amounts or relief schemes for businesses were announced. For an SME, this is a signal to watch for possible drought-related water restrictions and rising costs for water-dependent operations, not a reason to change plans yet.
