Law
DRM/DRR Framework
Passed in 2015
The objective of this law is to regulate disaster management in the Kingdom of Cambodia.
More precisely, it deals with 1) Prevention, adaptation and mitigation in the pre-disaster period, due to natural or human-made causes, 2) Emergency response during the disaster, and 3) Recovery in the post-disaster period.
The Law further creates the National Committee for Disaster Management. Sub-committees at national and regional levels will ensure the completion of the Committee's missions. On July 22, 2020, the National Committee for Disaster Management launched the Platform for Real-time Impact and Situation Monitoring (PRISM).
