Deputy Interior Minister Jeseth Thaiseth noted that the National Disaster Center uses radar and monitoring tools to track rainfall, while emphasizing the need to better integrate local data with central monitoring.

As the situation progressed, the Ministry of Transport established an emergency ‘War Room’ to coordinate responses across road, rail, water, and air sectors. This center provides 24-hour assistance and integrated resource management.
