Welcome to the Presentation Response of Natural Disasters through Resilience Presented by- Dr. BAYES AHMED Project Coordinator University College London (UCL) 24 August 2017

2 Bangladesh = 1,222 per Km2 [9th in the world] UK = 267 per Km2
Bangladesh at a Glance Population Density: Bangladesh = 1,222 per Km2 [9th in the world] UK = 267 per Km2 [Source: The World Bank, 2016]

3 Problem Identification
Bangladesh is ranked as the world’s 5th most disaster prone country. In recent time (from ), at least 24,376 people were killed and 129 million people were reportedly affected by disasters in Bangladesh (World Disasters Report, 2014). Bangladesh will be among the most affected countries in South Asia by an expected 2°C rise in the world’s average temperatures in the next decades (The World Bank, 2013). Hydro-meteorological hazards like flooding, landslides, cyclones, sea level rise, flash flooding from the hills and drought can be a real threat for Bangladesh.

4 Cyclone Sidr Devastation (November 2007)
Wind speeds = 240 km/hour Tidal wave = 6 meters Human casualties = 3,406 Missing = 1,001 Injured = over 55,000 Houses damaged/destroyed = about 2.3 million Cropland = 2.5 million acres Affected = around 8.9 million people, Damages and losses = US$ 1.7 billion. Source: US Navy

5 Flooding – July 2017 5.7 million people in 27 districts have been affected by floods with 300,000 people in emergency shelters, and 100+ people known to have died.
