The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) originally reported the issue last week that on April 27th at 3:30 A.M. in total 25 tsunami towers sirens sounded alarms in 14 provinces across Thailand which were
Two towers in Phang Nga at Baan Namkem and Koh Yao.
Three towers in Phuket at Kata Beach, Kamala Beach and Laguna in Thalang.
Three towers in Ranong at Kam Puan and Muang Kluang in Suk Samran and Kaper
One tower in La Ngoo, Satun
One tower in Mueang Narathiwat
One tower in Pattani at Ya Ring
Three towers in Krabi at Nong Talay and Sai Tai in Mueang Krabu and Neau Klong
One tower in Nakhon Si Thammarat in Lansaka
One tower on Phatthaung in Sri Nakarin district
One tower in Chumphon at La Mae
Five towers in Chonburi at Si Chang district
One tower in Nong Bua Lamphu in Na Wang
One tower in Kanchanaburi in Sai Yok
One tower in Chiang Rai in Mae Fah Lueang district
The DDPM has confirmed that the tsunami sirens at these towers have not malfunctioned. Signals sent to these towers were from satellites. The signals from satellites have to be pushed by technicians with double password security.
Despite the DDPM saying this wasn’t a malfunction they have not explained in full exactly what it was but have asked the public not to call it an error or malfunction.
The incident is still under review, said the DDPM, but stressed once again there was no malfunction.
