NOTICE TO ALL
\nGROUND-FLOOR PARTIES<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Dear All Ground-Floor Residents,<\/strong><\/div>\n
\nI received many questions so I decided to quickly reply by this
\nFAQ.<\/div>\n
\nIn summary, AIT staff \/ students (ground floor) will segregate items to
\nbe kept OR to be disposed and also ventilate the rooms by opening al
\ndoors and windows. Sodexo staff will support this process and during
\nthe next week we will remove all identified rubbish and items to be
\ndisposed to designated areas. Then upper-floor residents are free to
\nreturn to fetch their belongings if needed.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. Why are we doing this in such a short
\nnotice?<\/div>\n
I am sorry for this very short and late notice. This plan has only
\nbeen approved by the Management Committee yesterday (December 2)
\nevening. Please appreciate our hard working staff who also have to
\nspread and work so hard to start AIT other ventures at Huahin. We
\nconsider this action (to clear all the ground floor space) is very
\nimportant and cannot wait. If we don\u2019t start from this long weekend we
\nwill lose another week. Under this very damp condition inside all
\nbuildings, one day can make a different. It is also much more health
\nthreatening than at the time when the premise was fully flooded.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. What are the problems if we delay for
\nanother week or two?<\/div>\n
Failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture
\nand humidity can present serious long-term health risks. Standing water
\nand wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as
\nviruses, bacteria, and especially mold. They can cause disease, trigger
\nallergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the
\nflood. The key to mold control is moisture control. It is important to
\ndry water damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold
\ngrowth.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. What are we expected to do?<\/div>\n
This stage is simply segregation of what has to be kept and
\ndisposed. This should minimize the amount of time that people are on
\ncampus until the rooms have been allowed to ventilate properly. We
\nexpect the ground floor residents (faculty, staff and students) to
\nbrowse through for the last time their belongings and collect things
\nthat they want to save, although most important items should have
\nalready been removed before the flood.\u00a0Take them with you if
\npossible or segregate them from the rest. Sodexo will also provide a
\nstock area where inventoried items will be stored for safe-keeping.
\nWhatever remains in the ground floors of the building will be
\nconsidered as garbage. Disinfectants will be applied after all doors
\nand windows are left open. During 6-9 Dec, Sodexo workers will come to
\nhelp dispose all garbage from your room (house). \u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. Can I bring friends to help?<\/div>\n
Yes, you can. But remember, for security and safety reasons, no
\none is allowed to the upper floors now.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. Can I bring my car into the
\ncampus?<\/div>\n
Yes you can. You should if you plan to take some of the flooded
\nitems out of the campus.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. What if I lost my key or the door
\ncannot be open, or need help?<\/div>\n
Sodexo will be on stand-by basis with basic tools and accessories
\nto assist you. Please call Mr Stephen Andrews at 084-387-7966 if you
\nneed help.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. If I am not available, what should I
\ndo?<\/div>\n
Since we cannot entertain a case-by-case delay request, we allow
\nyou to designate a friend to act on your behalf. As we want to protect
\nyour remaining properties, we ask any resident who cannot come to
\nquickly send an email to Ms Marlou, marloubadiola@gmail.com<\/a>, Marjorie@ait.asia<\/a>,\u00a0giving your
\nname, ID number, your room number and the name of your friend(s). He or
\nshe will be allowed to deal with your room on your behalf.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. How can I commute from Huahin?<\/div>\n
For those from Huahin \/ Cha-Am intending to visit the AIT campus
\nkindly email Mr. Ashish Sitoula at: aomsnp@gmail.com<\/a>. Buses will be
\nleaving from the AIT Temporary Campuses in Hua Hin and Cha-Am to AIT
\nfor all ground level residents. Departure time for Hua Hin in the
\nmorning\u00a0is to be determined. Be ready to leave AIT for Hua Hin by
\n4pm.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. My room is on the upper floors, when
\ncan I collect my stuff?<\/div>\n
After all ground floors are cleared of debris, all doors and
\nwindows are open-aired for ventilation for 4 days (6-9 December) and
\nafter sanitary measures have been applied to all the previously flooded
\nareas, then we may consider AIT safe. All residents will then be free
\nto enter their rooms on upper floors.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. Could students and alumni volunteer
\nto help clean AIT campus?<\/div>\n
We are considering a big cleaning day most likely on the weekend
\nof 10-11 December after the campus is declared safe. \u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. When is AIT freely accessible to its
\nfaculty, staff and students?<\/div>\n
During December 6-9, Sodexo staff will remove all garbage out of
\nthe ground floors of all buildings. Solid waste will be dumped at
\ndesignated areas. Water trucks will help clean all mud and dirt.
\nGarbage trucks will come to collect all solid waste. Sodexo will
\norganize some laborers to remove the left-over debris and transport to
\ndesignated dump sites. After 9 December if everything goes as planned,
\nour President will declare the campus safe for normal access.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Q. Important security and
\nprecautions?<\/div>\n
All personnel entering AIT campus must comply to the
\nfollowing:<\/div>\n
1.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> Present ID card and show
\nroom key.<\/div>\n
2.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> Wear protective gear
\n(face mask, gloves and shoe protection available at the front
\ngate),<\/div>\n
3.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> Not lift any heavy
\nobjects without assistance.<\/div>\n
4.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> Friends of occupants may
\nenter residence with permission slip and room key or by special
\narrangement with sodexo.<\/div>\n
5.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> People with pre-existing
\nconditions such as allergies or asthma are strongly urged not to enter
\nthe campus.<\/div>\n
6.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span> AIT has tried its best to
\nprotect all personnel and residents from health hazards. However all
\nparties should take as their own risk in exercising utmost care in
\naccordance with their own health conditions.<\/div>\n
