Introduction: Historically, Thailand has been impacted by severe tsunamis, earthquakes, and natural disasters. Although the government of Thailand has implemented methods like seismic networks and water-based buoys (DART system) to detect tsunamis, there is a need for improved response measures, as they concern individual and community response measures.

This disaster plan covers the growing dangers of tsunamis and similar extreme weather events in Thailand, emphasizing the need to better account for disadvantaged individuals in preparation efforts.
