- Project Activities and Accomplishments
Bangladesh is ranking as one of the most disaster-prone countries. People in Bangladesh are often affected by water-related natural disasters, including floods, riverbank erosion and cyclones. In addition, recent rapid urbanization increases the risks for earthquake as well as man-made disasters. National Plan for Disaster Management (NPDM) 2021-2025 exemplified the strategic plan of the Government of Bangladesh in its Vision and the Mission of the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) between 2021 and 2025 towards building resilient nation. Bangladesh GOVT. has NPDM 2021- 2025 has core goals for actions to save life, reduce economic losses in every disaster cycle stages which includes Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Humanitarian Response and Emergency Recovery Management. In Bangladesh most hazards impact: flood; cyclone and surge; tornado; earthquake; riverbank erosion; landslide; salinity intrusion; drought; tsunami; lightning; arsenic contamination; human-induced hazards and health hazards. The last hazard has potential for assuming significance because of the emerging risks in Bangladesh.
A-PAD Bangladesh started project from January 2023 and presently continue it 17 January 2024 to build up capacity on disaster management. It communicates with the different sectors like local community, community leaders, stakeholders, GOVT. officials continuing training on disaster management. To hold training program A-PAD Bangladesh staff organized small community meeting to sharing ideas on disaster and introduced them about A-PAD Bangladesh activity. A-PAD Bangladesh working 8 divisional areas.

Eventually, arising from |
|
| the institutional dynamics of a participatory approach to grassroots development, NGOs stepped into many other development sectors such as community capacity -building through health, education, water supply and sanitation, shelter and infrastructure, livelihood supports, nutrition, and environmental management. NGOs are also providing relief and rehabilitation supports to natural hazards -affected communities. Although the state is the leading actor integrating DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) into policy strategies, the reformation of top – down governance in neoliberal societies and the government’s incapacity amplifies the scope of NGOs’ involvement in development. Disaster risk reduction (DRR) is a forward -looking strategy that seeks to reduce the impact of disasters by analyzing future disaster risk, making calculated predictions, assessing current vulnerabilities and building resilience. |

|
| provision (including healthcare). In Bangladesh, the impacts of flooding, cyclones, storm surges, landslides and droughts to a geographically unique and highly vulnerable ecological and human systems have led to a large-scale destruction of housing, land and property, and loss of livelihoods alongside increasing displacement and disaster-driven migration. Disasters also affect accessibility. Despite the urbanization trend and increasing infrastructure in Bangladesh, landslides, storms, flooding and earthquakes have the potential to significantly disrupt road networks, which then affects the ability to access shelters, healthcare, education and – on a wider scale – have implications on reducing poverty as poor access to markets are the cornerstones of livelihood generation · Ensuring that disaster risk reduction is a national and local priority with strong institutional basis for implementation; · Identifying, assessing and monitoring disaster risks and enhancing early warning; · Using knowledge, innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels; · Reducing the underlying risk factors; · Strengthening disaster preparedness for effective response at all levels |

Concerning capacity building and public awareness raising it was acknowledged that efforts have been undertaken in the past and that the need for each country differs. Nevertheless, there is a need for training in several areas and the need for advancement of public education and awareness taking stock of good lessons already existing in the region. The DRR priorities are representing the immediate needsin the region to enhance the implementation of the CDM strategy and the Sendai Framework in the contextual priorities. In this sense, countries and organizations working in Bangladesh can be guided by these areas identifying the focus of support. The priority areas and actions are an input to overall regional priorities. |

The participants were also trained on how to recognize the signs of an impending disaster and how to take appropriate measures to minimize the damage. During the training |
|
| program, a highly experienced fire fighter, shared his insights on fire safety and disaster risk management. He explained the different ways fires could start, such as through short circuits, gas cylinders, or paper, and emphasized the need to adopt different methods to deal with each type of fire. For example, if a gas cylinder is leaking, it’s best to open the door and window of the room and wrap it with wet sacks or blankets if it catches fire. If a fire starts due to a short circuit, the main switch should be closed if possible. In addition to fire safety, the program also covered other types of disasters that are common in the area, such as cyclones, tidal floods, erratic rainfall, cold waves, arsenic contamination, and tornadoes. The participants were trained on how to prepare for these disasters and how to respond quickly and efficiently during and after the disaster · Assess the response mechanism of the first responders · Enhance coordination among the emergency support functioning agencies · Awareness creation among the participants |
