Map reference6Background: Flood 2000 impact• 21 provinces/municipality affected by flooding comprise
131districts,883 communes,and5,158 villages.
• People affected:750,618 families• Death:347• Rice crops affected :616,749 ha• Other crops affected: 51,272 ha• Houses affected: 317,975 houses• Schools affected :988
• National roads affected: 2,621 km.
• Hospital and health center: 158 sites affected

Flood Disaster Countermeasures
Activities• Relations with National, Internationalorganisations, OIs, NGOs and U.N. Agencies
1. UNDP
2. ADRC
3. ADPC, etc.
• Capacity Buildinga. NCDM staff
b. PCDM/DCDM staff

Flood disaster countermeasures
activities• Consolidation the dams around cities(Phnom-Penh, Kamkong Cham, Kandal, etc.)• Restoration the main canals (4 lines)- Purposes
1. Reduce flood from the Mekong River
2. Reduce the infiltration of the Mekong
Cliff.
3. Develop agricultural Production
4. Consumption of local population.

Flood disaster prevention
measures• Improvement of rainfall forecast (radar rainfall coverage)• Improvement of Hydrological Network. Its objectives is:.- construct an adequate number of hydro meteorological stations(for data collection)- to develop regular measurement, collection anddissemination procedures for hydro-meteorological data
- to improve the management of the data collection
network.( MRC)
• Improvement of model updating techniques• Training in meteo observations

Flood disaster prevention
measures• Land use planning/regulations: prohibit the filling of reservoirs.
• Building codes illegal construction : prohibition of building on thebanks/shores ( Rivers, lakes, reservoirs).
• River law (obstruction of river, extraction of sand, rock and othermaterials form the beds and banks of water bodies).
• Forest law (cutting of trees)• Designate flood control areas.
• Training and education:a. Public official who play a vital role in DM
b. Inclusion of disaster mitigation courses
for technical students
c. Public awareness9Diversion Canal from Takeo to the Gulf ofThailand.
a. Purpose• Development ofagriculturalproduction• Navigation• Flood control• Industrial center• Tourism

Diversion canal from Kampong Cham toTonle Sap Lakea. Purpose• Development ofagriculture product• Flood control• Navigation• Fish migration

10

Disaster prevention measures• Construction of the dams “KOTANI”• Reforestation• Construction of embankments (Waju inkaizu-cho,GIFU Prefecture)• Construction of upstream reservoir

In brief• Instruction and training• River channel improvement• Construction of floodways, retarding basins, andcontrol basins, floodgates,pumping stations, dams,
channels for adjusting the flow of rivers and weirs• Development of lakes and marshes• Countermeasures for city submission• Construction of super levees to prevent flood• Comprehensive flood control measures.

11

Action Plan after I go back to mycountry• Installation GIS Internet Systems in NCDM GeneralSecretariat.
• Keep on contact with ADRC thru email, monitoring
ADRC Internet GIS “VENTEN”• Based on new knowledge gained from conducting researchin Installation ADRC trough V.S. Programme, I plan to:- review the previous training courses conducted for theProvincial/District
Disaster Management- integrate and manipulate possible methods thatcan make participants more active.

- formulate a project proposal on disaster reduction
at the community level.

• Active in contacting with potential donors
to get funding support.
• Formulate a five year plan.
• Formulate a Disaster Prevention/Mitigation
Plan at the National Level.
• Initiate the formulation of Disaster
Prevention/Mitigation Planning at the SubNational Levels.

12Conclusion• ADRC Visiting Researcher programme canbe regarded as one of the products of great
benefit to bolster the NCDM capacities indealing with disasters in the future• Revise Disaster Management Measures(NCDM)• Increase Capacity Building• Installation of Disaster Management System13
