The data outlined in Fig. 1 show that floods in 2006
and 2010 had the greatest impact on the central region
in Thailand, as shown by the markedly high numbers of
lost DALYs. The northeast suffered the highest number
of lost DALYs in 2007 and 2008, while floods in 2009
had the highest effect on the south.
Analysis of the DALYs lost due to floods from
extreme weather events between 2006 and 2010 in
each province in Thailand showed that the majority of
the provinces suffered overall losses of DALYs that
could be categorized as less severe (920 DALYs). Both Nakhon Sawan and Phra Nakhon
Si Ayutthaya suffered very severe losses of DALYs due
to floods (Fig. 2).
Moreover, 48 provinces of Thailand, which
represents 63.16% of the country, had a loss of DALYs
from floods, underscoring the severe impact of floods
in Thailand
