On August 21, 2026, Matichon Online reported that Jateset, a political figure, is coordinating with the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) and the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning to accelerate recovery efforts in Pua District. The initiative focuses on surveying the extent of the damage caused by recent flooding to facilitate a swift return to daily life for local residents.

For residents and travelers in the area, this mobilization signifies that government agencies are actively engaged in infrastructure assessment and cleanup operations.
