"Teng" hijacked the "disaster zone" of the nine northern provinces. Urgent! After suffering from severe PM2.5 poisonous dust, to enhance the efficiency of control of the situation, pull the budget-manpower, alleviate the situation of overpower and power, the governor pointed out that inaction may help the government escape the problem for a while, but the people have to live with toxic dust.

On March 30, 69, Nutthong Pong, the leader of the People's Party, posted

"The 2.5 toxic dust in the north has severely exceeded the benchmark, endangering the lives of the brothers and sisters. It should be declared a disaster zone!

Now, wildfires and 2.5 dust are greatly troubling the lives of northern citizens, based on the state's stated criteria that if the amount of 2.5 dust exceeds 125 micrograms per cubic meter for an average of 24 hours for five consecutive days, that area can be declared a disaster zone.

This means that at this time there are at least nine provinces that have to be declared disaster zones: Chiang Mai, Lampoon, Lampang, Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Sai, Mae Emperor and Tak. The governor is the authority to declare disaster zones directly, but the situation is usually not serious.

I repeat, this is a disaster that directly affects the lives of the people. Declaring a disaster zone can enhance the efficiency of controlling the situation, draw resources from parts - budget, manpower - to help alleviate the overpower and power of the governor alone.

The most important thing now is public health and life. There is no other reason to avoid declaring a disaster zone anymore, because now all data point in the same way that the 2.5 dust in the North is now at a threshold that endangers people's lives.

I urge the governors of the nine provinces, including the government at this time, to deal with the situation urgently. Staying silent without declaring a disaster area may help the government escape the problem for some time, but the people who live with toxic dust every day cannot escape the problem. This is a problem that results in death for people who should not be neglected and put the problem under the carpet as before. "
