Especially between the end of September and October 2020 alone, the central provinces have been heavily affected by eight types of natural disasters including: storms, tropical depression, storm surge, heavy rains, floods, inundation, flash floods and landslides. This is one of the most serious and severe natural disasters that has affected most socio-economic activities, infrastructure institutions on all routes from plain, midland and mountainous areas.
