The Activities Related to Mekong
PACT is working with Cambodian Red Cross to
strengthen its capacity to support volunteer community-based disaster
preparedness in 3 flood-prone provinces along the Mekong (Kompong Cham, Prey
Veng and Kandal). Red Cross volunteers are trained in vulnerability analysis and
community organizing and then develop small-scale flood mitigation and
preparedness activities in their communities.
