What to Do When There Is a Flood | Cambodia Mekong, Tonle Sap and Emergency Safety Guide

If flooding threatens your home, village, shop or journey in Cambodia, follow current provincial and local disaster-management instructions and move from exposed low ground while a safe route remains available. Do not walk, cycle, ride a motorcycle or drive through moving floodwater. Water may conceal deep drains, damaged bridges, open channels or electrical danger, even where the surface looks calm.

In parts of Cambodia, floodwater can rise through the Mekong River, Tonle Sap Lake and their connected channels, sometimes after rain falls far upstream. Intense local rain can also flood city streets rapidly. If authorities direct evacuation, leave promptly by the announced safe route rather than waiting for the water to reach the house. If a route is already blocked by fast current, seek a suitable higher protected location with rescue access and request help instead of attempting to cross.

This guide is for residents, families, farmers, fishers, school staff and visitors in Phnom Penh, Kandal, Kampong Cham, Kratie, Stung Treng, Kampong Thom, Pursat, Battambang, Siem Reap, Prey Veng, Takeo and other provinces. Use the Cambodia National Flood Forecasting Centre, Mekong River Commission flood monitoring and current local disaster-management notices. Cambodia’s official government information lists 117 police, 118 fire and 119 ambulance for emergencies. This is general flood preparedness information, not a live water-depth report or the currently open shelter list for any province.

Quick answers: the first twelve flood actions in Cambodia

1. Check official flood and rainfall information for your actual river, province, village and travel route.
2. If authorities order evacuation, leave early by the designated safe route before roads, bridges or footpaths become inundated.
3. Never drive, ride or walk through moving floodwater, including at small roads, culverts and low crossings.
4. Stay away from riverbanks and irrigation channels during rapid rises; the edge may be eroded beneath the surface.
5. Use boats only when suitable and authorised, with competent operators and properly fitted lifejackets; do not improvise a crossing in severe current.
6. If already trapped, move to a safer higher position with rescue access and provide the exact location to local responders.
7. Keep children and older people away from floodwater, and arrange appropriate accessible transport early.
8. Avoid wet electrical equipment and fallen wires; never stand in water to operate a power breaker.
9. Protect safe drinking water, medicines and infant-feeding supplies before displacement.
10. Call 119 for urgent ambulance care, 118 for fire/rescue-related emergencies and 117 for police assistance as relevant.
11. After water recedes, wear safe footwear and protect wounds during authorised cleanup, and watch for fever or serious diarrhoeal illness.
12. Re-enter homes only when local officials permit access and relevant structural, electrical, food and water hazards have been checked.

The government’s 2026 visitor emergency directory confirms 117, 118 and 119. The National Flood Forecasting Centre provides scientific water-level and forecast context used in national flood risk assessment.

Cambodia’s two broad flood patterns

Flooding can occur gradually along large rivers or rapidly after intense rainfall. River flooding often reflects water accumulated across a catchment and may develop over days as upstream levels travel downstream. Flash or urban flooding can arise much faster when rain overwhelms local drains or rushes through smaller valleys.

The safe response depends on the mechanism. A family near the Mekong may have early warning and time to arrange boat or road transport. A driver approaching a flooded urban underpass may have minutes to turn around.

These patterns can overlap: prolonged rain may swell rivers while new rainfall creates surface water on roads. Avoid treating every Cambodia flood as simply a predictable annual rise.

The urgent question is whether water will reach your home, the route to safety, or the essential services your household needs.

The Mekong and seasonal high water

The Mekong is a major river system extending across several countries before reaching Cambodia and then continuing into Vietnam. Rainfall in different parts of the basin contributes to the water flowing through Stung Treng, Kratie, Kampong Cham and downstream areas.

The Mekong River Commission describes a regional flood season broadly spanning June to November, when a large proportion of annual river flow occurs.

Seasonal high water plays important ecological roles and supports fisheries and farming. But unusually high levels, fast current and inundated routes can still threaten homes and lives.

Flood planning must distinguish ordinary seasonal water patterns from a specific dangerous rise or official evacuation warning.

Why upstream rainfall matters

A Cambodian family may see the local rain stop and assume the river will begin falling. Yet water from upstream tributaries may still be travelling through the basin.

A flood forecast can show potential downstream rises that have not yet reached the village. This is why checking only the weather directly outside the house is insufficient in a river community.

Take official warnings seriously even when nearby skies are clear. Do not rely on a photograph of yesterday’s riverbank to decide that a bridge or ferry crossing is still safe.

The river responds to rainfall across a large region, not only the rain you can see.

Tonle Sap Lake and the seasonal flow reversal

The Tonle Sap system has a distinctive relationship with the Mekong River. During high-flow periods, the Tonle Sap River can reverse direction, conveying water into the Great Lake and expanding the flooded area.

The Mekong River Commission’s geographic explanation describes how the lake expands substantially during the wet season and drains again as Mekong levels fall.

This natural cycle supports fishing and agriculture, but homes, schools, roads and boats in low areas still need preparedness for dangerous water levels or unexpected disruptions.

A regular seasonal cycle does not make every flooded path, electrified building or transport crossing safe.

The National Flood Forecasting Centre

Cambodia’s National Flood Forecasting Centre (NFFC) operates within the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology’s hydrological framework, including the Department of Hydrology and River Works.

Its official forecasting portal provides hydrometeorological context, water-level information and modelling for areas including the Mekong and tributaries associated with Tonle Sap.

The centre itself states that its products are part of the wider warning system and are not a guarantee of the condition of any specific home or road.

A person should check the observation time and relevant station, then follow local disaster-management officials for safe movement and shelters. A river gauge is not a street-level evacuation order.

The Mekong River Commission’s forecast stations

The regional flood bulletin and station overview include locations such as Stung Treng, Kratie, Kampong Cham, Phnom Penh, Neak Luong and Prek Kdam.

A station reading helps show conditions at that point and can support understanding of upstream and downstream trends. It does not show the exact depth inside a house some distance away.

Different stations may use different local reference levels; comparing their raw numerical heights without context may be misleading.

Read the station name, date, observed level, forecast and official interpretation instead of guessing a flood depth from one number.

What Cambodia’s disaster-management authorities do

The National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) and provincial, district and village arrangements play roles in disaster warning, preparedness and response.

The water resources and meteorological services produce technical hydrological and weather information, while disaster-management authorities and local officials coordinate community protection and assistance.

A scientific warning for a river may not identify which school is functioning as an evacuation shelter today. Local officials can provide current operating destinations and safe access.

Use NFFC and MRC data for hazard awareness and the responsible local authority for the concrete action.

Current warnings are more important than an old flood photograph

A video of deep water from a previous monsoon season may circulate as if it shows the present event. An authentic river graph may have been copied without the timestamp.

Before sharing, check source, province, district, date and action. Do not warn that all of Cambodia is evacuating because one river reach is high.

If you see immediate dangerous water, protect yourself regardless of whether your phone has received a message. The lack of a notification is not proof of road or household safety.

Phnom Penh: low roads and drainage flooding

Urban flooding can occur when heavy rain exceeds drainage capacity. Water may accumulate at junctions, lower streets, underpasses and basement entrances even where the main river is not overtopping.

Do not drive a motorcycle or car through water that covers the roadway. An open drain or eroded section may be invisible under the surface.

Avoid underground parking if water is entering, and keep people away from wet electrical controls. A vehicle is not worth becoming trapped below ground.

A city road looking normal on a navigation app cannot establish its safety during a downpour.

Kratie and Kampong Cham: riverside communities

Communities along the Mekong may be affected by changing river levels and by the condition of low roads, ferry approaches and fields.

If authorities advise households in a floodplain to prepare or relocate, use the time available for medicine, water and transport. Do not wait until the route from the house is completely underwater.

A high river can erode banks and damage steps or moorings. Standing close to a collapsing edge to photograph the water creates additional risk.

Riverbank homes and transport must be assessed together because the route can close before the house becomes inundated.

Siem Reap, Battambang and Tonle Sap communities

Settlements around Tonle Sap and connected lowlands may have seasonal water changes affecting roads, schools and fisheries.

A village may depend on boats at certain times, but that does not mean a small boat is safe in severe flood current or storm conditions. Check current water and wind advice and use competent operators.

Visitors to Siem Reap should not assume that a popular sightseeing route or floating village tour remains safe simply because a ticket is available.

A tourism booking is not an assessment of the day’s river or lake conditions.

Pursat and smaller tributary basins

The NFFC portal also includes work on the Pursat tributary basin and connections to Tonle Sap. Rainfall in a smaller catchment may create local impacts that differ from a major Mekong station.

Families should check district instructions and the low crossings used for school, market and medical access.

A locally dangerous stream may not look dramatic on a broad national river map, particularly during a rapid rainfall event.

Do not ignore small river and drainage hazards while waiting for a large Mekong warning to change colour.

Cambodia’s rainy season and the dangers of assumptions

Much of Cambodia experiences a wetter monsoon period during part of the year, but the timing and severity of individual storms vary.

The Mekong flood season and a city’s flash-flood risk are related but not identical. A strong storm outside the ordinary peak period may still cause local flooding.

A household should prepare before monsoon months, but follow the actual current warnings rather than rely exclusively on calendar expectations.

A season gives useful background; an observation, forecast and local instruction guide today’s decision.

Never cross moving floodwater

Water current can knock a person down or push a motorcycle or vehicle away. Muddy water may cover drains, broken pavement, sharp objects and electrical hazards.

A road that looks shallow from one side may drop sharply in the centre. Another driver’s successful crossing does not certify conditions minutes later.

Turn back, stay in a suitable protected place or follow an authorised alternative route. Do not ask a child or passenger to test depth by walking ahead.

Avoiding uncontrolled water is safer than trying to judge whether your vehicle is powerful enough to cross.

Bridges, culverts and riverbank roads

Floodwater can undermine bridge foundations and road shoulders. The visible bridge deck may still be present when its approach has lost support.

Do not use a crossing closed by officials or covered by moving water. A low concrete bridge can become dangerous even without a spectacular collapse.

People watching the river should remain away from eroding banks and bridge edges. Heavy debris can strike structures unexpectedly.

Reopening a road after flooding requires competent assessment rather than merely waiting for the top of the pavement to appear.

Motorbikes and bicycles in flooded streets

Two-wheeled vehicles can lose balance in current and slip into hidden drains or potholes. The narrow gap along the edge of a flooded street may conceal an open channel.

Do not ride through such water to meet a delivery or class timetable. Walking the motorbike across the crossing can be even more dangerous if the water is moving.

If a vehicle stalls, prioritise human safety and seek help from dry ground. Do not stand in current attempting engine repairs.

Motorcycle mobility is not protection against an unknown submerged road.

Boats and lifejackets

Boats can help communities access services during ordinary seasonal water conditions, but rough weather, fast current and debris can make an improvised crossing life-threatening.

Use suitable vessels operated by competent people. Wear properly fitted lifejackets, including for children, and respect current authority or operator restrictions.

Do not overload a boat with household possessions during evacuation. Keep infants and people needing mobility assistance supported by appropriate arrangements.

A boat that was suitable yesterday may not be safe during a sudden river rise or strong storm.

If an evacuation is ordered

Read the exact community, time, route and destination announced by local authorities. Leave early with essential medicines, documents and safe water.

Do not return to recover furniture once roads have become inundated. A designated refuge may be a school, public building or other facility, but its opening and capacity depend on the current event.

Ask how children, older residents and people with disabilities will be transported, and where households will be accounted for.

The right destination is one that is currently operating and can be reached without entering dangerous water.

If your normal route is already flooded

Do not cross the flow merely because an older notice named a shelter on the other side. Contact responsible local responders for updated route or rescue advice.

If a structurally suitable building has an accessible upper level and the lower exit is blocked, temporary protected refuge may be safer than a late attempt to wade out.

Avoid sealed roof spaces with no exit, and report your precise location and any medical or mobility needs.

An evacuation plan must change when the route itself becomes a hazard.

Emergency telephone numbers in Cambodia

Cambodia’s official government 2026 visitor information lists:

117 — Police emergencies.
118 — Fire emergencies and relevant fire-service assistance.
119 — Ambulance for urgent medical emergencies.

Other local disaster-response arrangements and contact numbers may depend on the province, municipality or health facility. Know those contacts in advance when possible, especially in remote areas.

When calling, give the province, district, commune or village, address or landmark, people affected, injuries and road or water hazards. Do not assume a dispatcher can find a remote flooded village from the district name alone.

What to report when asking for flood rescue

A useful description is: “Four people in the upstairs room of this house, one person cannot walk, water rising at the entrance, nearest road is blocked beside this bridge.”

If there are injuries, say who is conscious and breathing and whether immediate medical support is needed. Report if rescue vehicles cannot reach the building by ordinary road.

Where possible, provide GPS coordinates as well as human-readable landmarks, such as a school, pagoda, market or bridge.

Keep a phone available for response and follow official instructions. A short precise report can be more valuable than repeated general calls.

Schools, children and safe collection

A school can remain dry while access roads or footbridges are flooded. School staff should follow local education and disaster-management instructions for supervised shelter or dismissal.

Parents should not cross dangerous water to collect a child when the institution has a safe reunification arrangement. Confirm the current collection point and route.

Teach children a simple rule: “Do not enter water covering a road; stay with the teacher or adult and follow the safe plan.”

A pupil with medication or mobility needs requires individual assistance and clear communication with caregivers.

Infants, older adults and disability access

Families with infants need clean feeding water and age-appropriate supplies, while an older resident or wheelchair user may require an accessible vehicle or boat.

Arrange help before floodwater closes the route. A generic instruction to climb stairs is not sufficient for someone who cannot use them safely.

When requesting assistance, identify exactly what is required and which access point remains safe.

The best evacuation plan works for the family member who needs the most time and support.

Medicines and hospital access

Flooding may block a road to a clinic or interrupt electricity for medical devices and refrigeration. People requiring dialysis, oxygen or regular essential treatment should coordinate with healthcare providers early.

Keep prescriptions and a concise medication list accessible. Do not attempt a dangerous water crossing even when the appointment is urgent; request medical assistance and explain the access problem.

If a person has life-threatening symptoms, use 119 for ambulance help and follow the dispatcher.

Medical urgency requires safer coordination, not improvising a crossing through current.

A practical emergency flood bag

Essential prescribed medicine, medical notes and first-aid supplies.
Identity documents and important contacts in waterproof packaging.
Safe drinking water and compact ready-to-eat food.
Phone, power bank, flashlight and spare batteries.
Sturdy footwear, dry clothing and necessary hygiene supplies.
Infant feeding items, nappies and personal care products.
Glasses, hearing or mobility devices and their essential components.
A written current refuge location and trusted contact outside the area.
Keys and small cash where available.
Basic pet essentials when they do not delay people.

Prepare the bag in advance. Do not enter a flooded ground floor to retrieve a backpack once leaving becomes dangerous.

Electricity and wet appliances

Floodwater may expose people to electricity from submerged sockets, wiring, damaged appliances and fallen cables.

Do not stand in water to operate an electrical breaker or attempt a do-it-yourself repair. The absence of lights does not prove the equipment is safe; electricity can be restored unexpectedly.

Keep children and pets out of waterlogged electrical rooms. Ask qualified utility or emergency personnel to make installations safe.

Electrical hazards can remain long after the water level has fallen.

Drinking water after a flood

River water and floodwater may contain sewage, chemicals, fuel and microorganisms. Do not use it as drinking water merely because sediment settles.

Follow local health and water supplier recommendations on safe water treatment. Boiling or correct disinfection may address microbes in some circumstances, but boiling does not remove many chemical contaminants.

If fuel, pesticides or other chemicals may have entered a water source, obtain an alternative verified safe supply. Store drinking water in clean covered containers.

Safe water is an immediate priority for infants and displaced families.

Food and sanitation

Floodwater can contaminate stored food, household kitchens and sanitation facilities. Food touched by polluted water may be unsafe even in some packaging.

Preserve hand hygiene with safe water and soap, particularly before preparing meals. Keep waste away from cooking and water storage areas.

A prolonged electricity cut can also spoil refrigerated food. Seek health advice rather than tasting questionable items.

A safe household cannot resume normal life until drinking water, food storage and sanitation are reliable.

Wounds and illness after floodwater exposure

Floodwater may contain sharp debris and disease-causing microorganisms. Wear suitable footwear and gloves for authorised cleanup, cover cuts and wash exposed skin with safe water.

Seek medical help for severe diarrhoea, fever, worsening wounds, dehydration or other concerning symptoms after exposure. Tell healthcare workers about the floodwater contact.

Do not attempt to identify the exact infection from a social media comparison of symptoms. Different illnesses require different diagnosis and treatment.

Health problems can emerge days after the visible flood has passed.

Snakes and other animals seeking dry shelter

Animals may be displaced from flooded habitats and seek refuge in buildings, debris piles or stored items.

Check shoes and dark corners cautiously, use a flashlight and avoid reaching blindly into debris. Keep children away from unfamiliar animals.

If bitten or stung and significant symptoms occur, seek urgent medical advice. Do not attempt dangerous home remedies or capture an animal at personal risk.

Returning home requires a careful assessment of more than water and damaged walls.

Farmers, fishing families and livestock

Floods may damage crops, animal shelters, equipment and fisheries. Early planning can help protect safe drinking water, feed and animal welfare where feasible.

Do not require family members to cross fast current to retrieve livestock or machinery after an evacuation order. Report any stranded animals to relevant local support services where assistance is possible.

After floods, contaminated animal feed and water may need veterinary or agricultural assessment.

Protecting livelihoods is important, but the people sustaining them must be kept safe first.

Tourists and Tonle Sap excursions

Tours around Tonle Sap and other waterways depend on boat conditions, access roads and current water levels. A tour being advertised online does not certify it as safe today.

Ask the operator about current official warnings, vessel safety, lifejackets and whether routes are restricted. Do not board an overloaded or improvised vessel to preserve a booking.

Visitors should keep important medicines, identification and contact details accessible, and know the local emergency numbers.

A missed tour is preferable to a dangerous journey on a fast-changing waterway.

Driving between provinces during high water

Major roads may remain open while smaller connecting routes, rural bridges or access roads are flooded.

Check transport operator, local authority and road information before travelling. A navigation app may not reflect the latest closure or damaged culvert.

If a road is submerged, turn back safely rather than following a larger vehicle through. Avoid travelling at night through unfamiliar flood-prone routes when visibility is poor.

Every segment of a journey must be safe, not only the highway shown in the itinerary.

Power interruptions and fuel generators

A flood may interrupt electricity needed for pumps, lighting, food refrigeration and medical devices. Keep suitable battery lighting and a communication plan ready.

Never operate petrol generators or charcoal cooking equipment inside an enclosed home or garage because carbon monoxide can be deadly. Avoid unsafe improvised connections to household wiring.

Seek professional assessment before restoring equipment that has been underwater.

Solving a power failure should never create another poisoning or fire emergency.

Community information and rumours

An image of a flood in one Cambodian province may be circulated as a current warning for another area. The Mekong Commission’s graph may also be copied without the station name or timestamp.

Before forwarding, verify the source, date, location and protective action. Use local disaster-management messages for evacuation and authoritative water forecasting for broader river information.

Do not claim an entire country is under evacuation because one district has dangerous flooding.

Local, timely, sourced messages are the most useful form of disaster communication.

When the flood begins to recede

Water may retreat from the street while roads, electrical equipment, foundations and drinking-water systems remain unsafe.

Wait for the responsible local authority to permit access. Inspect buildings cautiously for serious cracks, sagging floors or unstable walls and seek qualified advice where necessary.

Do not touch downed wires or use flooded appliances. Keep children away from contaminated mud.

The river falling is not a structural or electrical safety certificate.

Flood cleanup and household recovery

Use safe footwear, gloves and protective clothing when appropriate, and avoid vigorous contact with contaminated water or mud.

Do not climb a damaged roof or cut a tree resting on power lines without competent assistance. Keep children out of debris areas.

Document damage for legitimate aid or insurance from a safe location once access is permitted. An unofficial agent requesting fees or sensitive information for guaranteed relief should be verified carefully.

Recovery should start with safe shelter, health, water and utilities before property repairs.

A village flood preparedness plan

A useful local plan identifies the warning channel, flood paths, safe refuge, road and boat routes, accessible transport, and how households will account for members.

Village leaders can coordinate support for people needing assistance and relay official information when ordinary mobile service fails.

Practice the plan in safe weather, including the route children use for school and the way a clinic can be reached if a bridge closes.

A plan on paper is useful only when families know how to perform it under the actual constraints of their community.

Scenario 1: a Kratie family sees the river forecast rising

Imagine a riverside family checking the official Mekong river monitoring and receiving a local evacuation advisory. The house is still dry, but the road out runs close to a low channel.

They prepare medicine and child supplies and leave by the authorised route when directed, before the crossing becomes unsafe.

This is a fictional teaching scenario, not a live Kratie warning. The lesson is using forecast lead time preserves safer travel choices.

Scenario 2: a driver approaches floodwater in Phnom Penh

A motorcyclist finds water covering a low city road after a downpour. Another bike has already crossed, so the rider considers following.

Instead, the rider stops, turns around safely and seeks a dry alternative. An open drain may be hidden under the water.

The lesson is another person’s successful crossing does not certify a flooded roadway.

Scenario 3: a family near Tonle Sap needs a boat

A household has to relocate during high water. An unregistered small boat offers to carry a large group plus heavy furniture across fast current.

The family follows the local authorities and arranges suitable authorised transport with lifejackets instead of overloading an improvised vessel.

The lesson is water transport must be appropriate to current conditions, passengers and route.

Scenario 4: a school access road is flooded

A school remains dry but the access bridge is submerged. Parents consider sending children on foot across a shallow-looking section.

School staff keep pupils supervised and communicate a safe alternative reunion arrangement.

The lesson is a safe building does not guarantee safe access.

Scenario 5: an older resident cannot descend stairs

Floodwater surrounds a home where one older resident cannot use stairs and another family member requires regular treatment.

The family contacts local rescue and medical services with exact details, rather than attempting a carry through moving water.

The lesson is accessible planning and clear rescue reporting matter before and during flooding.

Scenario 6: water recedes from a damaged house

After a flood, a resident discovers wet wiring and a badly cracked lower wall. The front door still opens normally.

They keep others away and seek qualified assessment before reconnecting electricity or moving back in.

The lesson is visible drainage is not the same as safe occupancy.

Common flood mistakes in Cambodia

“Every flood is just the usual Tonle Sap season.” Dangerous river rises and flash floods require local action.
“Only the rain over my village matters.” Upstream rainfall may raise levels later.
“A Mekong gauge tells me the depth on my street.” Station levels and local inundation differ.
“A boat is always safer than walking.” Fast current, weather and overloading can make boats dangerous.
“The tour is still advertised, so the waterway is open.” Confirm actual restrictions.
“A motorbike is small enough to use a flooded road.” Hidden drains and current can cause serious injury.
“A low bridge is safe if another vehicle just crossed.” Water and road conditions change.
“An upper floor is the answer to every flood.” A structurally unstable building may require another response.
“No warning on the phone means the river is safe.” Communication and local risks vary.
“I should rescue a car from a flooding basement.” Entrapment and electrical hazards may be deadly.
“An electricity outage means wet wires are safe.” Power may return unexpectedly.
“Boiling removes all fuel and chemicals from floodwater.” It does not.
“Water that looks clear can be used for infant formula.” Follow verified safe-water advice.
“An old school shelter is certainly open today.” Confirm the current operating destination.
“The rain stopped, so the downstream flood must have ended.” Water may continue travelling.
“Children can walk home through a flooded road.” Keep them supervised.
“Returning to a dry house proves it is safe.” Check utilities, structure and sanitation.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do first if a flood threatens my home in Cambodia?

Follow local disaster-management instructions, move early from exposed areas when directed and stay out of moving floodwater.

Where can I check Cambodia’s official river flood levels?

Use the National Flood Forecasting Centre and Mekong River Commission bulletin, alongside current local warnings.

What are Cambodia’s emergency numbers?

117 police, 118 fire and 119 ambulance, according to current official Cambodian government visitor information.

Why does Tonle Sap Lake expand in the wet season?

High Mekong water levels can reverse the Tonle Sap River’s flow, conveying water into the lake and surrounding floodplain.

Does a Tonle Sap flood always mean an emergency?

Not necessarily. Seasonal water changes are part of the ecosystem, but dangerous flooding and access problems require current official safety action.

Is it safe to ride a motorbike through shallow floodwater?

No. Moving water and hidden road damage can cause serious injury. Turn around.

Can I use any small boat to evacuate?

Use suitable vessels and competent operators, with lifejackets and local authority guidance. Avoid dangerous current and overloading.

What if my road is already underwater?

Do not cross dangerous water. Seek safer protected refuge and contact responsible local rescue services for updated directions.

When is it safe to return home after a flood?

After local access clearance and checks of structures, electricity, drinking water, food and sanitation.
