A "war room" will closely monitor the situation around the country as the red shirts hold rallies this weekend.
The Centre for the Resolution of the Emergency Situation (CRES) has set up a command centre headed by army commander Anupong Paojinda.
It has also set up centres in provinces where the emergency decree remains in effect to help with surveillance. Apart from Bangkok, the decree is still imposed in Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Khon Kaen and Udon Thani.
Security officers have set up checkpoints and organised patrols. They claim there have been intelligence reports that some parties may try to create unrest.
The CRES also took into account red shirt protesters' planned activities in Chiang Mai today. It put 11 companies of police and soldiers on standby to maintain order there.
Meanwhile, protesters have vowed they will keep on laying red roses in front of prisons until their detained leaders are released.
Puea Thai Party MP and red shirt leader Jatuporn Prompan led about 1,000 supporters to Bangkok Remand Prison yesterday morning to put up red roses on its gates.
Mr Jatuporn said the red shirts did not mean to pressure the court but would continue to make the gesture until its leaders were freed.
Red shirt leaders, including Natthawut Saikua and Weng Tojirakan, have been detained pending prosecution on many charges, including terrorism, following anti-government protests that developed into arson and riots in April and May.
According to Mr Jatuporn, protesters will resume their rose-laying activities next week. They will also stage a rally in Chiang Mai province tomorrow.
He emphasised the gatherings will be peaceful and the protesters will disperse after completing their activities.
Surachet Chaikosol, Puea Thai MP for Ayutthaya, said a convoy of red shirts will leave Bangkok for Chiang Mai today. They will stop over in Ayutthaya, where locals are expected to give them food supplies and moral support.
Mr Surachet said the government was trying in vain to stop the movements of protesters.
CRES spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd thanked red shirt protesters for their peaceful activities yesterday.
Apart from the rally in front of Bangkok Remand Prison, red shirts conducted similar rose-placing activities at prisons in other provinces.
Their numbers ranged from 30 to 100 in each province, he said.
Col Sansern said the CRES is preparing information to provide to a sub-committee of the Truth and Reconciliation Committee on the 89 people who were killed during the violence in April and May in Bangkok.
He said that not all of them were killed on May 19. The sub-committee will visit the CRES on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the CRES has issued an announcement prohibiting protesters from using loudspeakers.
The Metropolitan Police Bureau expects the number of protesters in the capital to reach more than 1,000 tomorrow.
