Flood Early Warning System Project Mekong River Commission with funding from OFDA, Cambodian Red Cross,American Red Cross, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies GOAL: Through improved flood warnings, vulnerable communities in Cambodia will reduce their risk to higher-than-normal annual floods.

Objective and Outputs Objective Develop flood-referencing tools, methods and protocols to enable flood-vulnerable populations in Cambodia to understand and effectively respond to MRC prepared warnings. Major Outputs Vulnerability and Knowledge Baseline Survey of Target Villages Flood Referencing Methods and Tools Community Feedback System

Project Area 6 Pilot villages Referencing the Neak Lung and Bassac MRC River Stations Prey Veng Province, Peam Ro District Neak Loeung Village, Neak Loeung Commune Stung Santhepeap Village, Neak Loeung Commune Stung Slot Village, Neak Loeung Commune Kandal Province. L’Vea Em District Koh Reahs Leu Village, Koh Reas Commune Veal Thom Village, Peam Oknha Ong Commune Peam Oknha Ong 3 Village, P. Oknha Ong Commune Beneficiaries = 18,737

Strategy Build on the existing CBDP program of the Cambodian Red Cross. Use the Red Cross Volunteer (RCV) network to reach each community. American Red Cross provides TA and oversight. Federation provides TA via Regional Delegation.

Activities BEFORE FLOOD SEASON RCVs already trained in CBDP by CRC conduct baseline survey on vulnerability. RCVs assist MRC with Village Flood Markers installation (3-5 per village) RCVs and MRC install Village “Billboards” for presenting forecasts and alerts to Villagers.

Activities DURING FLOOD SEASON RCVs record Village Flood Markers twice a day. MRC reports River Station levels and predictions/forecasts to CRC NHQ daily. CRC NHQ relays information from MRC to RCVs and reports Village Flood Marker readings back to MRC. RCVs update and maintain Billboard info and village flood maps.

Activities AFTER FLOOD SEASON RCVs and CRC staff work with villages’ leaders and villagers to assess effectiveness and how to improve referencing and forecasts for subsequent floods. Project will design and produce an EWS manual that has specific guidelines for each village.

Fine Tuning Throughout the life of the project the methods of information dissemination and communication will be refined and improved by means of continual feedback and input from the Villages. As more years are added to the database, the forecasts should become more and more accurate.

The Future In 2004 expand throughout Cambodia – Up to 46 Villages in 5 provinces In 2005 Expand to Lao PDR with Lao Red Cross Society with support from CRC, AmCross and the Federation as needed.
