1) Background:

A Land of Disaster
Bangladesh often makes top news all over the world. However, unlike most other countries, it is not because of politics. When Bangladesh is on the news, it usually means that another devastating natural disaster has hit the low-lying country. It also usually means a huge death charge and much destruction for one of the poorest nations in the world.
Bangladesh, a country in southern Asia that is home to 140 million people, is widely known as a land of natural disasters. It is highly vulnerable to floods, cyclones, and river erosions. Due to the effects of these disasters, the country is now permanently in distress. These disasters have become regular phenomena and have been causing suffering to millions of residents for many decades.

























The Happenings:



Recently, on November 15, 2007, thousands have died and millions were rendered homeless by the cyclonic storm Sidr. It devastated southern and central Bangladesh.
According to official sources, some 3,313 people were killed so far and 28,128 injured by the deadliest cyclone in the history of post-independence Bangladesh. However, the unofficial sources say that with the recovery of more dead bodies every hour from the coastal districts, the death toll may rise to between 5,000 and 10,000.
Cyclone Sidr swept across 16 coastal districts with wind speeds of 240 km/h (150 mph). The winds whipped up waves three to five meters high. The cyclone flattened homes, uprooted trees, electricity, and telephone poles, washed away roads and bridges, destroyed crops, and killed livestock.
The death toll would have been far worse if limited emergency plans had not been in place. An early warning system enabled the evacuation of an estimated 3.2 million people to higher ground and safety. In contrast, in 1991, Cyclone Gorky claimed at least 138,000 lives and in 1970, Cyclone Bhola killed about half a million people in Bangladesh


Constant Danger
There are mainly two reasons that make Bangladesh so prone to water surges:

a) The first is that there is shallow water well into the Bay area. This allows for the surge to pile up very high near the coastline.

b) The second factor is the shape of the coastline. Bangladesh's coastline acts as a funnel, increasing the surge height even further.
The geographical location of Bangladesh also makes it subject to various climatic features that make it more susceptible to abnormal storms and tornadoes.
In addition to cyclones, floods have caused havoc in Bangladesh throughout history, especially during the recent years of 1987, 1988, and 1998. The most recent one occurred in August, 2007. According to government statistics, 298 people died and more than 10 million people were badly affected by it. Nearly 60,000 houses were completely damaged by the deadly flood.









The possible reasons behind the frequent floods in Bangladesh, are –
*The rise in sea water levels,
*the narrow north tip to the Bay of Bengal,
*the shallow sea bed, and
*the fact that water coming down from the rivers Ganges and Brahmaputra cannot escape when the water level rises — all contribute to the severe flooding of the Bangladesh coastline.
*He also blamed extensive deforestation for the floods.
*Rising greenhouse gases emissions are the major cause of weather-related disasters and must be tackled.
*Warmer global temperatures have increased the intensity of cyclones that form over the Bay of Bengal, sending more violent storm surges crashing into the coast.
















Relief & Rehabilitation Program:

World Concern's initial entry into countries of operation has been often in response to emergency situations. Since 1993, World Concern has responded to every major disaster befalling the country and now has amongst its staff a body of committed and highly experienced relief and rehabilitation workers. World concern's response to emergencies is not only to intervene in its own working areas, but also to go elsewhere in the country as the situations may require. The relief and rehabilitation projects undertaken by WCB has been funded by all its donors, i.e. ZOA Netherlands, InterAct, JOCS, CEDAR Fund as well as World Concern Head Office, whenever there was a disaster and a need to stand by the side of the disaster victims.





























Activities:

a) Providing emergency treatment and medicine to the disaster victims.

b)Providing food and making provision for clean drinking water for the disaster victims.

c)Organizing cash and work for them.

d)Providing house-building materials to the affected people so that they can rebuild their houses.

e)Providing seeds and other materials for their economic rehabilitation.

f)Providing grants for loan capital in order to start businesses that have been damaged by the disaster.
