Tsunami safety drill in six provinces - 25 July 2007
At 9.00am on 25 July 2007, Thailand’s National Disaster Warning Centre is planning to conduct a Tsunami Evacuation Drill in the provinces of Phuket, Phang-Nga, Krabi, Ranong, Trang and Satun.
Sirens will sound from 79 warning towers and mock evacuation events will take place on a number of resort beaches. This exercise follows a series of similar events in Thailand to raise public awareness after the 26 December 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Tourist facilities and hotels are prepared for the drill. |
