Head of disaster alert center hasn't quit yet
Despite reports the contrary, Dr Smith Dharmasaroja has not resigned from his position as Director of the National Disaster Warning Center (NDWC). AP today reported:
The head of Thailand's disaster warning center, established after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, resigned Thursday, complaining a lack of government support made the agency «powerless to do anything.
But then Dr Smith told the Gaztte “that he told a press conference in Bangkok yesterday that he was only considering resigning – out of frustration from the lack of support from successive governments in funding the work of the NDWC”.
