The Prime Minister was seated signing documents in preparation for tomorrow's Cabinet mobile meeting in Songkhla, approving the principle of disaster insurance for the entire population covering landslides, floods, and earthquakes.
At 21:10 on 31 August 2026, reporters observed that during a meal with Cabinet members, Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anutin Charnvirakul signed documents for the upcoming first official off-site Cabinet meeting (mobile Cabinet) on 1 September. The documents concerned the disaster insurance agenda for citizens nationwide, covering cases such as landslides, floods, and earthquakes.
At the mobile Cabinet meeting, it is expected that the principle will be approved that the insurance fund should be less than the annual government expenditure on flood relief, and that citizens will receive aid more quickly. However, the specific details, such as the insurance coverage amount, will be considered further after the principle's approval. It is preliminarily anticipated that amendments to ministerial regulations will be necessary.
