Cambodia: Flood-prevention plan in four provinces cited as example to follow
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.
