Cambodia is a country in Southeast Asia that faces a high level of disaster risk and is ranked 58th most at-risk of 191 countries in the INFORM Risk Index in 2024. Over 80% of Cambodia’s territory is covered by the basins of the Mekong River and Tonlé Sap, and this situation exposes the country to seasonal flooding. In fact, riverine flooding is the most significant hazard Cambodia confronts; the second is epidemic disease. Cambodia is also exposed to storms, cyclones, landslides, lightning strikes, fires, and droughts.

The Cambodia disaster management reference handbook provides the reader with a baseline understanding of national entities involved in disaster management. This resource offers an overview of the country’s people, geography, and economy and details past disaster responses in addition to the country’s disaster risk reduction policies.
