On December 16, 2024, RMUTL’s Institute of Research and Development, chaired by Asst. Prof. Phisit Wimonthanasit, held a strategic meeting to establish the RMUTL Disaster Management Center. Funded by Thailand Science Research and Innovation (TSRI), the project aims to improve flood disaster management in Lampang Province, enhance resilience, and support food security (SDG 2). The initiative focuses on closing operational gaps, developing data-driven response systems, creating innovative technologies, and promoting volunteer training and collaboration with public, private, and local partners for effective disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Building on past flood experiences, RMUTL has provided safe water, emergency kitchens, and volunteers to support community resilience, food security, and well-being. The university is upgrading its Disaster Management Centre with advanced communication systems, volunteer networks, and community-focused disaster education to serve as a regional hub for preparedness and collaboration. RMUTL also awarded its 2024 Flood Relief Scholarships to students affected by disasters, supporting their studies and reinforcing its commitment to student welfare.
