Preah Sihanouk province: Admiral ទៀ សុខា, commander of the navy and standing deputy chairman and secretary-general of the National Committee for Maritime Security, said the navy had personnel and resources ready to help residents in flood emergencies across the capital and provinces.
He said floods were threatening Cambodia's neighbours. Prime Minister Hun Manet, Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister General Tea Seiha, and Royal Cambodian Armed Forces commander-in-chief General វង្ស ពិសេន had ordered all branches of the armed forces to prepare to help flood-affected residents. Naval headquarters had personnel and equipment ready to intervene at any time, 24 hours a day.
The navy commander said flood-rescue preparations were planned every year. In 2025, personnel had been assigned across subordinate units, including a river-patrol vessel unit at naval headquarters, Unit 708 at the Coastal and Island Defence Command, and Ream Naval Base. Each unit had prepared vessels, speedboats, boats and lifebuoys for flood rescue.
In addition to personnel and rescue resources, the navy had prepared food for distribution to residents affected by flooding.
