Disaster Management Project Factsheet

Cambodia is considered one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world. The World Risk Report 2017 classifies it as the 8th most at risk and the 15th most exposed country, due to a significant exposure to natural hazards and very limited coping capacities of its population at national and local structures to prevent and mitigate the effects of disasters.

World Vision International-Cambodia (WVI-C) has focused on 20 districts, 46 communes, and 181 schools, in target areas, that are potentially at risk to disasters, such as flood, storm, and drought.
