Why do we need more DRR mainstreaming
• Floods are the primary cause of disaster-related deaths (53%: 1,091 reported deaths since 1996)
• The floods in 2013 alone damaged 12,094 wells and boreholes across 18 provinces hampering access to clean water to nearly 2.2 million Cambodians.

• Support pre-positioning of spare parts and chlorine in PDRDs for immediate repairs and cleaning of the most affected infrastructure.
• Support mapping of water supply infrastructure.• Improve sustainability of household water treatment systems. • Ensure effective operation and maintenance of critical WASH
