The Cambodian Community-Based Flood Mitigation and Preparedness Project
(CBFMP) was launched from 1 September, 1998 - 31 January, 2001. The goal of
the project is to reduce the vulnerability of communities to floods by using
an integrated, community-based disaster
preparedness and mitigation process
at the village level. The project has targeted three highly flood-prone
provinces of Kampong Cham, Prey Veng, and Kandal, that border the Mekong
River.
The project is implemented by a Management
Committee comprising of PACT,
Cambodia, Cambodian Red Cross (CRC), and the International Federation of Red
Cross and Red Crescent Societies (the Federation).
To date, 23 flood mitigation solutions were developed by 75 Red Cross
Volunteers and the Disaster Committees, they organized in Round I communities,
17 of which, 7 in Prey Veng, 6 in Kampong Cham, and 4 in Kandal are
currently completed. Another 75 Volunteers who finished training in March
2000 have developed 25 mitigation solutions in their communities.
