PROEN Supports Youth-Led Flood Reporting Platform in Chachoengsao
Thai tech firm PROEN Corp is providing free cloud infrastructure to support a real-time flood reporting platform developed by a local student.
PROEN Corp, a Thai digital infrastructure provider, has announced it is providing free cloud resources to support a real-time flood reporting platform in Chachoengsao province. The platform was developed by 17-year-old student Nonthapat Jittarangsarn, in collaboration with the 'We Love Paet Riew' social media page and local rescue teams.
According to PROEN CEO Kittipan Sribua-iam, the company aims to leverage its digital infrastructure expertise to enhance the platform's reliability and accessibility for the public. The system, which was initially developed in just four hours, is designed to provide residents with immediate access to flood data and facilitate emergency coordination.
For residents and travelers in the Chachoengsao area, this initiative represents a significant improvement in local disaster response capabilities, potentially allowing for faster information dissemination during flood events. The company stated that this support aligns with its ongoing corporate social responsibility efforts, which have been active since 2017.
While the platform is now backed by professional cloud infrastructure, users should note that the system's effectiveness depends on the accuracy of data provided by local contributors and rescue networks. It remains to be confirmed how the platform will scale during severe, long-term flooding events or if similar support will be extended to other provinces facing comparable environmental challenges.
