Disaster Management
Workshop
In Cambodia the most frequent and severe disasters are
caused by flooding
Cambodia is naturally susceptible to annual river flooding
during the main monsoon season. Localized flooding caused
by monsoon thunderstorms is also a serious threat as they
periodically sweep the country
Prolonged drought wasexperienced in 1997 to 1998and consecutive drought in
2001, 2002, 2004,2005 and 2015
Causing of the lack of the rainfall, Cultivation of ricehas only been undertaken in an estimated 800,167hectares, which is only equal to 36.77% of theplanned 2,167,000-hectare land for rice cropproduction that is lower than rice production.

Global Context
• Every year, more than 200 million people are affected by
droughts, floods, cyclones, earthquakes, wildfires, and other
hazards.
• Increased population densities, environmental degradation,
and global warming adding to poverty make the impacts of
natural hazards worse.
• The World Conference on Disaster Reduction was held from
18 to 22 January 2005 in Kobe, Hyogo, Japan, and adopted the
present Framework for Action 2005-2015: Building the
Resilience of Nations and Communities to Disasters (here
after referred to as the “Framework for Action”).
Global Framework
• The Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) adopted by theMember States of the United Nations. The overarching goal isto build resilience of nations and communities to disasters, byachieving substantive reduction of disaster losses by 2015 – inlives, and in the social, economic, and environmental assets ofcommunities and countries.The HFA offers five areas of priorities for action, guidingprinciples and practical means for achieving disaster resiliencefor vulnerable communities in the context of sustainabledevelopment in the following:
Hyhogo Framework for Actions
1-Make Disaster Risk Reduction a Priority - Ensure that disaster riskreduction is a national and a local priority with a strong institutionalbasis for Implementation
2-Know the Risks and Take Action - Identify, assess, and monitor disasterrisks – and enhance early warning.
3-Build Understanding and Awareness - Use knowledge, innovation, andeducation to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels.
4- Reduce Risk - Reduce the underlying risk factors. Vulnerability to naturalhazards is increased in many ways, for example:
– Locating communities in hazard-prone areas, such as flood plains;– Destroying forests and wetlands, thereby harming the capacity of the
environment to withstand hazards;– Building public facilities and housing unable to withstand the impacts of
hazards; and,– Not having social and financial safety mechanisms in place.
5- Be Prepared and Ready to Act - Strengthen disaster preparedness foreffective response at all levels.

Sendai 2015-2030 with its seven targets and fourspriorities for action, was adopted at the third UN worldconference on DRR on March 18, 2015.It was endorsedby the UN general assembly on June 3, 2015(Is a 15-years, voluntary, non-biding agreement whichrecognizes that the State has the primary role toreduce disaster risk but that responsibilities are to beshared with other stakeholder including localgovernment and private sector).
Sendai Framework
Regional and National Context
• ASEAN is most prone to natural disaster and the ClimateChange;
• Increased vulnerability of developing countries, includingCambodia, to climate change due to limited adaptationcapacity leading to of natural hazards impact worse.
• ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management andEmergency Response (AADMER) has ben effective 24December 2009 (legally binding);
• Law on Ratification on ASEAN Agreement on DisasterManagement and Emergency Response promulgated byHM. The King, 15 February 2008;
National Level Demands
• Strong Disaster Management Institution;• Appropriate and sufficient policies, framework, strategies
and plan;• Resources and technical capacities enhancement;• Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction, including
mainstreaming and integration into social economic development sectors;
• Disaster Emergency Management System, including mechanisms, Data and information management, Communication and EWS;
• Disaster public awareness; • Capacity building on DRR and Response• Participation from partners, stakeholders at all level
