The government initiated a “Level 2” emergency operation of the disaster response headquarters Thursday in response to the nationwide scorching heat.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety said it had raised the level of emergency duty of the Central Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters as of 5:00 p.m., expecting the number of areas with an apparent temperature of over 35 C for the next three days to exceed 108.

The searing heat wave has been gripping South Korea for over a week, with the highest temperatures climbing from 33 C to 38 C across the nation Thursday.

The government runs the headquarters in three stages — with the third stage being the highest — to prepare against disasters or crises, respond to their aftermath and cope with post-disaster restoration efforts.

The four-level heat alert was raised to the highest level of “red” Tuesday for the first time since 2019.

The ministry, meanwhile, vowed to allocate 6 billion won (US$4.61 million) to cope with the heat, including 3 billion won for North Jeolla Province, which is currently hosting the 25th World Scout Jamboree.

A total of 108 people were taken to hospitals during the opening ceremony of the jamboree event with symptoms of heat-related illness, two days after the event kicked off amid scorching heat.

The budget will be used for the installation of additional cooling systems and to provide emergency supplies.

The headquarters has also urged the health ministry to enhance monitoring efforts for vulnerable individuals, including the homeless.

Amid the scorching heat, the headquarters also said around 165,000 units of livestock, including 156,297 chickens, have died due to the heat since June 19.

Please consider the benefits that make the country more It should not be used as a condition to create various conflicts, it should be over, and justice should be given to General Prayuth as well, ”said Thanakorn.

As for the news that there will be some groups of MPs preparing to leave the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party Mr. Thanakorn said he did not know, but thought that in politics need to be together because it has just begun Unity is therefore of the utmost importance. I want everyone to stay with the party. Continue to work for the people. The 36 MPs of the party are important, regardless of which party has power. believe that today the city must move forward

As for whether it would be possible for some groups to form a government, Mr. Thanakorn said that in politics, leaders forming a government should coordinate with the whole party. It may not be specific to certain groups. therefore it is not possible But if it’s possible, it depends. Will it be a reason to want to reduce friction about not having an uncle?

Because General Prayut is not affiliated with the party Today, MPs should have the opportunity to work for all groups. These conditions are unlikely to be created. However, what I’m saying is not a government. But speaking in principle and fairness with General Prayut.-Thai News Agency
