Torrential rains in Thailand have caused the worst flooding in that country in more than 50 years. The floods have affected more than 2 million people in Bangkok and elsewhere and caused major damage and disruptions to infrastructure, including rail and roads.

Organizations with interests in areas affected by flooding should continue to monitor local news and advisories from the government of Thailand.

In addition, risk managers and business owners can continue to find relevant content on Marsh’s Disaster Recovery Portal, including:

• a 10-step guide to assessing damage following the Thailand floods; and
• guidance on how to prepare for and respond to flooding events.  

Information is also available on various Marsh services, including:

• post-loss damage assessments
• catastrophic response services;
• business interruption services; and
• supply chain resiliency.
