Following the establishment of National Committee on Disaster Management (NCDM) in
2005 and adoption of SNAP in 2008, the RGC has emphasised systematic and proactive
efforts in DRR. The country has achieved remarkable knowledge and skills to live with
disaster risk. Cambodia endorsed the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) in 2005 that
provides a systematic and strategic approach to reduction of vulnerability and risk to
disasters.
