112 MEDIA KIT In the midst of recovering from the fl oods of the preceding year, the country was again affected by fl oods in 2001, signaling a worsening and increasing frequency of fl ooding. The country was also affected by drought particularly in the provinces of Battambang, Pursat, Prey Veng, Kompong Speu, Kampong Cham and Svay Rieng, which experienced insuffi cient rainfall throughout the year. The lack of drinking water affected not only the human population but livestock as well. In most of these areas farmers could not plant rice because of the unavailability of seeds that were damaged during the previous year. Total economic damage from natural disasters in the year 2001 was estimated at US$ 36 millions. Nearly one million people were affected by fl ood-related food shortages, while over half a million were affected by food shortages caused by drought. The 2002 drought started as early as January in some places and by the end of July had spread to all 24 provinces, with the provinces of Kampong Speu, Takeo, Kampot, and Kampong Chhnang hardest hit. Some of the worst affected districts were in other provinces, namely Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, Prey Veng and Battambang provinces. As a result of the drought, farmers were not able to plant wet season rice, or transplant seedlings, which were damaged. Crop production was signifi cantly affected, especially in Prey Veng and Kampong Speu provinces. Subsidiary crops were also heavily damaged. Indonesia Brief Hazard Profi le Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago. The country experienced an economic growth of 4.8% in 2000. This growth rate may not be sustained since it is attributed to favorable short-term factors, including high world oil prices, a surge in non-oil exports, and increased domestic demand for consumer durables. Hazards The particular geographical and geological characteristics of the Indonesian archipelago place the country among the most vulnerable to natural hazards. It has more than 500 volcanoes, of which 128 are active, occupying the zones of Sunda, Banda, Halmahera and
chapter 4. country hazard and vulnerability profi les Minahasa. The country is subject to a high level of seismic activities due to its location at the intersection of three crustal plates namely, Eurasia Plate, Ancient Australia-Indian continent, and Pacifi c Ocean Floor in the northeast. Much of the activities occur at sea, bringing in added risks of tsunamis or tidal waves. Many parts of the country are susceptible to drought most recently caused by the El Niño phenomenon, which resulted in crop failure and uncontrolled forest fi res from large-scale forest conversion and land-clearing activities. Indonesia also has over 5,000 small and big rivers, of which 30% cross high population density area, posing fl ood hazards. Vulnerability Exposure to the above hazards is determined by the topography. Sumatra, Java, Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, Sulawesi and Irian Jaya are subject to seismic activity. Because of high soil fertility, people choose to settle along the slopes of its active volcanoes. Overfl ows of shallow rivers during monsoon rains fl ood South Sumatera, Jambi, Riau, West Sumatera, North Sumatera, and Aceh.

The affected area is fl at and low-lying and forms the major rice growing area. Household capacity to cope with the consequences of disasters is weak especially in rural areas, where most live on or below the poverty line. The fast expansion of urban areas has resulted in haphazard development, with an increasing number of people living in vulnerable settlements. Forest management practices characterized by clear-cut logging with very little effective restoration put pressure on the natural environment. 113
