The National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) sent a report to Prime Minister Hun Sen on Thursday, saying that 1,786 houses and thousands of hectares of crops have been flooded. The NCDM said local authorities and armed forces have been cooperating with the Cambodian Red Cross to get people in affected areas to higher ground. Additionally, National Election Committee deputy secretary general Som Sorida said many polling stations for the upcoming election have been flooded with this week’s heavy rains. “We have two options – if the polling stations are flooded, we can delay the voting there, but if safe places are available, we can change the polling stations,” he said. ------------------- The Kampong Speu provincial Committee for Disaster Management on Wednesday issued an alert after non-stop heavy rain caused widespread flooding. In Koh Kong province, authorities are working with the disaster committee and the Cambodian Red Cross to assist those affected after more than 350 homes were inundated. In Battambang, the provincial department of agriculture said that, as of Wednesday, 1,100 hectares of paddy fields in Ek Phnom district were seriously affected by flooding. The Kampong Speu administration called on people to be extra cautious in order to avoid accidents, and asked local authorities at all levels to pay close attention to the vulnerable and children and to carefully monitor water levels in their areas. The alert said Wednesday’s non-stop rainfall caused water levels to reach 7.3 metres at the province’s Peam Kley pumping station, a level dangerously close to causing the Prek Tnaot river to break its banks and flood a number of nearby areas. “[A flood here] would impact agricultural land, people’s livelihoods, houses and property, and could affect their health through the spread of diseases,” the announcement states. However, Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology spokesman Chan Vutha, said people in the nearby Phnom Sruoch district “should not be overly worried regarding the rainfall” because plans were in place to open canal gates to release water and make room for further rain. --------------------------------- Flooding in Cambodia has damaged over 1,700 homes in several provinces, according to the country’s National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM). Flooding began on 17 July, 2018 after a period of heavy rain, affecting the provinces of Kampong Speu, Battambang, Koh Kong and Phreah Sihanouk. As many as 1,786 houses and 1,100 hectares of paddy fields have been damaged. The NCDM said local authorities and armed forces have been cooperating with the Cambodian Red Cross to get people in affected areas to higher ground. Over the last few days flooding has also affected parts Kampot province, and Pur Senchey district in Phnom Penh. Phnom Penh Governor HE Khuong Sreng visited affected areas on 20 July, 2018. The Ministry of Health’s Communicable Disease Control Department (CDC) has alerted the affected population of possible dangers in time of floods. A backup plan for polling stations possibly affected by floods is being developed by the country’s National Election Committee (NEC).
