For those now interested in tracking tropical storms & hurricanes, there is an interesting website you can check out. It's called Tropical Storm Risk and it shows all active tropical storms, hurricanes & typhoons (the name for hurricanes in Asia). It shows their strength and likely path. We've been watching Typhoon Damrey because it's been predicted to give us a lot more rain in a couple of days, so everyone's preparing for another flood. The website is http://tsr.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/.

Does Chiang Mai have an evacuation plan for those whose homes are flooded? Where do the people go? Is there anything like FEMA in Thailand?
No, there's no plan. Everyone must fend for themselves and help their neighbors. The government does help a little. They provide sand for sandbags, they have been sandbagging the river this time, and sometimes they help with the clean-up.
