Athaphon said the weakness in 2019 was that there was a plan but could not implement the plan in coordination, such as a provincial war room. But the province cannot control the district level Local level Because the fire is in the local area, it cannot be controlled. The next weakness is not an organization on fire.
Last year, fear of burning, so everything is forbidden. And the no-burn area was too long When the time the villagers burned at the same time Therefore, unable to control the situation. This year, we are not avoiding getting burned. But it must be controlled and organized. This is a lesson from last year that has been applied.
Also, another lesson is Local authorities must control the forest fire situation. In the past, there was no provision to extinguish forest fires. And coordination The exchange is going to extinguish forest fires according to the beginning of this year, this year, TAMC has organized demonstrations in 9 northern provinces. Strengthen communities and have channels to request energy to extinguish forest fires.
Now we are in the dust season. Wanting people to be afraid of dust is like fear of COVID-19 and you want them to question whether it is related to the production of dust. Or as a source or not rush to reduce, for example, reduce the use of private cars, reduce burning
Soi Aree officials said they had suffered from dust problems over the years. Personally, I think it’s as scary as COVID-19 and last year I went out until I couldn’t see the building. Therefore, there is a proposal to wish everyone, both from the public and private sectors. I think we can still do it now if everyone cooperates seriously. Both are heading to public vehicles Change the engine, cut down the cliff, including planting trees.
If you define Thailand I think there is summer, rain, cold and dust.
