Abstract

At the end of September 2021, Tropical Storm Dianmu caused catastrophic floods in Thailand, placing thousands of lives, properties, infrastructure, and other things, in danger. These circumstances provide an opportunity to learn how to respond to tropical storm situations in the future. Our investigation reveals that Thailand has access to a wealth of data, including geospatial, radar, satellite, and sensor information. Thus, these data could be utilized for an urgent alert system and communication channel to mitigate and reduce the potential for large-scale destruction by tropical storms and floods in the future.
