National Committee on Disaster Management (NDMC) officials in Cambodia have urged all provinces to adopt strategies to reduce the potential impact of natural hazards, citing as an example a flood-prevention plan implemented in four provinces in 2006 that they said had been particularly effective.

"Creating a plan for preparedness and reducing the risk of disasters at the provincial and district level is a very important responsibility that will allow all of the people to live in peace" said Peou Samy, NCDM’s secretary general.
