The Thailand Government Public Relations Department reported on September 26, 2026, that the Royal Thai Army has elevated the status of its disaster relief centers to address the ongoing crisis caused by heavy rainfall. In response to the severe weather, the military has mobilized personnel, field kitchen units, and medical teams to provide urgent support to affected citizens.
