In areas where water has receded, damage assessments and relief efforts for residents will be expedited. In areas where water levels are rising, a forward command center has been established at DDPM Region 12 in Songkhla to support emergency aid, including evacuations, distribution of survival kits, mobile kitchens, drinking water production units, and rescue teams to alleviate residents' hardships.

However, the Meteorological Department forecasts that rainfall in the lower southern region will decrease but heavy rain may still occur in some areas, especially in Songkhla, Pattani, Yala, Narathiwat, Trang, and Satun. Residents are advised to be cautious of dangers from heavy and accumulated rainfall, flash floods, and river overflows, particularly in foothill areas near watercourses and lowlands. They should closely monitor official information and prepare for possible emergencies. Mariners are advised to navigate carefully and avoid sailing in stormy conditions, as waves in the Gulf of Thailand are moderate, reaching approximately 2 meters in height.
