Following the accidental riverbank collapse which pulled down 39 houses into the river, in the afternoon of 01 April, at Samaky village, Russei Keo commune, the city of Phnom Penh installed large public signs prohibiting people to live in this area because it considers it as a danger zone. The Kampuchea Thmei newspaper reported that after the accident, Kep Chuktema, the city governor, announced that the city will buy a piece of land in Dangkoa district to distribute to the people who lived by the riverbank collapse as an exchange, and also to avoid future accident. Khleang Huot, the Russei Keo district governor, also asked people who built homes along the riverbanks that are prone to collapse to dismantle their homes and avoid these danger zones.
