In terms of government policy, the government, under the leadership of Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, is concerned about people affected by disasters, especially those areas that have been experiencing problems for a long time. Therefore, he has pushed forward long-term prevention and problem solving projects.Both the infrastructure projects of the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning, the water management projects of the Department of Irrigation, and the operations of relevant agencies to improve the quality of life of the people and reduce the impact of disasters as much as possible.

Since the actual situation may have different limitations on forces, resources, and equipment than the training, all units must always be prepared to perform their duties immediately upon notification and be ready to respond to requests for assistance from the public in order to provide the most effective assistance and relief.
