The Agriculture Ministry expects the late-monsoon rain to move into the South, with heavy rain possibly exceeding drainage capacity. Flood damage since 21 August has hit farming in 53 provinces (193,171 farmers). Actions: follow official warnings closely and move assets at once when alerted; if evacuation is ordered, leave immediately. For relief, photograph the whole plot, the damaged spots, and yourself in the field; relief claims run within 90 days after the disaster ends. Rice seed reserve of 20,000 tonnes is set aside, up to 30 rai per farmer.
