PRESENTED BY: VISETH UNG,

, DEPUTY SECRETARY GENERAL, NATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COUNCIL, IN THE INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MITIGATION ON DISASTER DUE TO SEVERE CLIMATE EVENTS: FROM POLICY TO PRACTICE, MARCH 10-13, 2016, COLOMBO, SRI LANKA

CURRENT DISASTER INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Presented by: H.E Ross Sovann, Deputy Secretary General, and Chief of Emergency Response and Avian Influenza National Committee for Disaster Management , March 2016

CURRENT DISASTER-RELATED DATA PROGRAMMES

CAMDI database was first developed in 2015 by NCDM/UNDP

A total of 7,800 records of disaster events from 1996 to 2013

CAMDI to be in line with the Sendai Framework, Cambodia’s Disaster Risk Reduction Framework (2019-2030), and National

Action Plan for Disaster Risk Reduction (2019-2025),

Disaggregated by hazard, sex, age, disability, income, and geography,

UNDP, Sept 2020: Lack of historical disaster data ia a thing of the past for Cambodia 2020

CHALLENGES WITH THE CURRENT SYSTEMS

IDEALLY CAMBODIAN DISASTER STATISTICS SHOULD CONTAIN:

4. STATISTICS ON DISASTER EXPENDITURE

Monetary valuation of spending on all investments and

activities directly related to disaster risk management to

determine the relationship between expenditure and

results and deliverables

RISK PREVENTION

RISK REDUCTION

EMERGENCY RESPONSE

RECOVERY

GENERAL GOVERNANCE, EDUCATION, RESEARCH AND

DEVELOPMENT, ETC.

3. STATISTICS ON DISASTER OCCURRENCES

Characteristics of every hazardous events that are required

to respond and recover from emergencies, and to develop

time-series statistics for forecasting, prediction, and planning

TYPES

TIME

LOCATION

UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION

STATUS

2. STATISTICS ON DISASTER IMPACTS

Information regarding damages and losses that directly or

indirectly affect the post-disaster evaluation of damages and

losses , i.e. impacts on

HUMAN LIVES

MATERIALS AND THE ECONOMY

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

BASIC SERVICES

THE ENVIRONMENT AND HERITAGE

1. STATISTICS ON DISASTER RISKS

The extent of hazards that interacts with socio-economic

characteristics that dynamically determines the chance

of disaster-induced damage and losses

VULNERABILITY

CHALLENGES IN CAMBODIAAlthough there are 2 SDGs targets that relate to disasters:

GOAL 2: END HUNGER, ACHIEVE FOOD SECURITY AND IMPROVED NUTRITION AND PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

Target 2.4: By 2030, ensure sustainable food production systems and implement resilient agricultural practices that increase

productivity and production, that help maintain ecosystems, that strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change,

extreme weather, drought, flooding and other disasters and that progressively improve land and soil quality (Ministry of

Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries)

GOAL 13: : TAKE URGENT ACTION TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS

Target 13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries

(Ministry of Environment)

MEANWHILE

Disaster is yet to be included in the business of Official statistics

National Committee on Disaster Management (NCDM) is yet to be included as a member of

● Statistics Advisory Council

● Statistics Coordination Committee

● 27 Line Ministries .Agencies that produce designated official statistics

NIS provides only some basic data for NCDM’s Sendai Framework Reporting

WHAT NEED TO BE DONE IN CAMBODIA

POLICY AND REGULATIONS1. To include disaster-related data to be part of Official Statistics under the national statistical system2. To designated NCDM as one of the designated official statistics, and Statistics Coordination Committee3. To identify existing relevant policies and regulations and develop new enabling regulations

PROCEDURES FOR DATA COLLECTION / COMPILATION 1. To develop for NCDM procedure and protocol for disaster-related data across sectors2. To jointly develop definition, classification, standard, as well as metadata for disaster-related data3. To establish structure, mechanisms, and tools for data collection and compilation

MECHANISMS FOR DATA ANALYSIS AND SHARING 1. To link all disaster databases under the relevant SDGs targets2. To establish a joint working group of NCDM- NIS - and General Secretariat of NCSD 3. To establish a network of disaster data producers

BETTER UTILISATION OF DISASTER DATA1. To request NCSD to formally recognise link Sendai Monitoring and SDGs 2. To include disaster statistics as one of official statistics in NIS publications3. To make available disaster data for development, sectoral, and local planning
