The PM ordered the first flood relief payments to reach households this week, paid as verified claims clear without waiting for nationwide processing. Under the cabinet scheme, flooded homes qualify for 9,000 baht (5,000 baht for high-rise residents surrounded by water for 7+ days). Register or amend details in the Tang Rat app under "My Requests", and check your registered location and disaster dates, since homes outside designated areas must contact local authorities. Funding may be short, so more provinces may get top-ups. Expect more rain this week, including Bangkok and heavy rain in the South, so plan for drainage and stock protection.
