Plan International Cambodia decided to conduct a campaign raise awareness of climate change and global warming in rural communities in Cambodia after seeing the number of 'natural' disasters in the last decade, reports the Phnom Penh Post. "We now have started working on disaster prevention in our target areas," said Khun Bunna, a disaster risk management project officer at Plan International. "From our efforts in the community, people who live in sensitive areas know how to stay safe if they face a natural disaster," Sok Sakhan, a disaster preparedness manager at Caritas said.
