Recently, an important announcement came from Mr. Aekvarunyoo Amrapala, the spokesperson for the BMA, outlining the eligibility criteria and support options available for those affected by recent seismic activity. To qualify for financial assistance, it’s essential to demonstrate that your primary residence sustained damage in the earthquake’s aftermath.

The support isn’t limited solely to homeowners with registered addresses; it extends to tenants in affected rental properties and individuals residing in non-registered dwellings that they consider their main home. However, the crucial step for all applicants is obtaining a disaster victim certification from their local district office as a proof of their unfortunate situation.

The relief package, meticulously managed by the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation alongside the BMA’s disaster response unit, is packed with benefits, like a well-stocked survivor’s kit during trying times:

• Home Repair Costs: For homeowners, actual repair material costs can be claimed, reaching a cap of 49,500 baht per property.
• Temporary Accommodation/Rent: For residents whose homes have been branded unsafe by the BMA, and if they aren’t bunked in city shelters, they’ll receive a comforting 3,000 baht monthly allowance, capped at 6,000 baht over two months.
• Funeral Expenses: An aid of 29,700 baht is offered for each dearly departed individual. If the paragon of the household was the departed, an additional 29,700 baht per family comes along to provide solace in these tough times.
• Injury Assistance: Those seriously injured, based on medical certification, can expect an initial payment of 4,000 baht. Additional support of 13,300 baht is available for individuals who’ve sustained disabilities due to the tremor.
• Emotional Support Funds: If the disaster not only left physical scars but emotional ones too, certified individuals receive a one-time payout of 2,300 baht to assist with recovery.
• Vocational Capital Assistance: Starting from scratch in your vocation? Families trying to rebuild their livelihoods can apply for a grant of up to 11,400 baht to leap back into action.

Expenditure allocation will rely on careful surveys conducted by district-level committees, who will diligently assess damages and relay their findings to the BMA’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation prior to any national fund requests.

For those eager to secure assistance, here’s the step-by-step drill:

1. Visit your local district office’s website or the BMA’s portal to download the application form.
2. Diligently complete the form and submit it, bundled with supporting documents, to your district office’s administrative division. Ensure all facts are in the spotlight!

Some documents required for submission include:

• A meticulously completed disaster victim fact-finding form.
• A copy of a valid national identity card (for Thai citizens) or passport (for non-Thai citizens).
• Your current house registration certificate.
• The land title deed flaunting the homeowner’s name or a befitting certification form if a title deed isn’t available.
• The pivotal condominium title deed (Form Or Chor 2).
• That official police report from the local station covering the incident.
• The in-hand disaster victim certification with the related damage list (Form Bor Sor 3).
• If the initial documentation appears ambiguous or hits a snag proving damage due to the earthquake, a record form (Por Kor 14) might fill in the gap.
• Additional supporting documents if you are eyeing claims for housing repair material costs.
• Last but not least, photographs that stand testament to the damage endured.

To smooth the road ahead, district offices have thoughtfully arranged for police officers at registration points, ready to file special incident reports. Residents are encouraged to liaise with their local offices for a treasure trove of details and answers to any inquiries surfacing during this process.
