Information Collected during disaster: NCDM PCDM DCDM CCDM VDM G V. Disaster M anagement Information System in Cambodia 1. CAM Di 2. WebEOC Connection with AHA Centre
1. CAM Di CAM Di 1. § Disaster management information system (DM IS), supported by UNDP being prepared – which previous- year-lost data (from 1996-2013) collected through the country. § Database of CamDi (DM IS) be linked to NCDM website - http:/ / www.ncdm.gov.kh § The CamDi online disaster damage and loss database be accessible to all including Cambodia interface by late 2013. § 70% of previous-year-lost data collected through the country from 1996-2013. NCDM website: http:/ / www.ncdm.gov.kh
Disaster Loss Database (CamDi) 2. WebEOC Connection with AHA Centre • WebEOCwith AHA Centre being installed, under bureau Emergency Coordination Center (ECC). • Technical support by JICS (Japan International Cooperation System) • Staff trains • 5 computers • 5 screens
VI. Challenges § Very limitation of resource allocation for Disaster M anagement Information S ystem, (lack of human & financing resource). § According to access to data collection & very limitation of data available on-time, and NCDM ’s capacity is limited in disseminating disaster information across all levels. § The forecasting and early warning information from national level could only reached the provincial, but very slow to commune level. VI. Challenges § The disaster preparedness plan and multi- hazards map have not been entirely developed in the country. § Systematic procedures and cooperation among NCDM , all line agencies and NGOs in implementation of DRM are not compatible.
VII. Suggestions • Capacity Building to National and sub- national level. (Training of Trainer, National to Sub-national level). • Looking for any projects: Pilot projects on Geo- referenced Information System for DRM , Drought M onitoring, & Climate Change Pilot Project. • Necessary equipments. Thank you so much!
