A man carries a dog as Cambodian soldiers help 'flood victims' during a flood response training exercise organized by the government in Phnom Penh September 5, 2012. Cambodia conducted the exercise to prepare against possible floods this year. In 2011, floods resulted in the death of 207 people, the biggest in a decade, and displaced more than 300,000 families while damaging 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) of rice paddies, leaving 300,000 hectares (740,000 acres) of rice paddies underwater, according to the Cambodian National Disaster Management Committee (CNDMC).
