Lom Sak Municipality Issues Red Flag Alert for Rising Pa Sak River
Authorities in Lom Sak have raised a red flag warning as water levels in the Pa Sak River approach critical thresholds, urging residents to prepare for potential flooding.
On August 21, 2026, the Lom Sak Municipality in Phetchabun province officially raised a red flag to alert the public regarding the rising water levels of the Pa Sak River. According to reports from Prachachat Business, the municipality issued the warning as water levels reached a critical threshold, signaling a high risk of the river overflowing its banks.
Data provided by the Phetchabun Provincial Irrigation Office, specifically from the S33 station in Lom Kao, recorded the water level at 5.26 meters as of 12:00 PM. While the report noted a slight decrease in levels at that specific station, the municipality remains on high alert to ensure residents are prepared for potential inundation.
For residents and travelers in the Phetchabun area, this situation is significant as it indicates a heightened risk of localized flooding, which could disrupt travel routes and daily activities near the riverbanks. It is essential to monitor local municipal announcements and follow the guidance of provincial authorities closely.
At this time, it remains to be confirmed how long the red flag status will remain in effect and whether the water levels will continue to recede or rise again due to further rainfall. Visitors are advised to exercise caution when traveling near the Pa Sak River and to stay updated through official local government channels.
