  • Perspectives on Emergency Preparedness in South-East Asia
    Perspective Turning commitments into actions: perspectives on emergency preparedness in South-East Asia Roderico H Ofrin, Anil K Bhola, Nilesh Buddha World Health Organization Health Emergencies Programme, World Health Organization Regional Office for South-East Asia, New Delhi, India Correspondence to: Dr Roderico H Ofrin ([email protected]) Abstract Emergency preparedness is a continuous process in which risk and vulnerability assessments, planning and implementation, funding, partnerships and political commitment at all levels must be sustained and acted upon. It relates to health systems strengthening, disaster risk reduction and operational readiness to respond to emergencies. Strategic interventions to strengthen the capacities of countries in the World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region for emergency preparedness and response began in 2005. Efforts accelerated from 2014 when emergency risk management was identified as one of the regional flagship priority programmes following the pragmatic approach “sustain, accelerate and innovate”. Despite increased attention and some progress on risk management, the existing capacities to respond to health emergencies are inadequate in the face of prevailing and increasing threats posed by multiple hazards, including climate change and emerging and re-emerging diseases. The setting up of a “preparedness stream” under the South-East Asia Regional Health Emergency Fund in July 2016 was an important milestone. The endorsement of the Five-year regional strategic plan to strengthen public health preparedness and response – 2019–2023 by Member States was another step forward. Furthermore, ministerial-level commitment, in the form of the Delhi Declaration on Emergency Preparedness, adopted in September 2019 in the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia, is in place to facilitate Member States to invest resources in the protection and safety of people and systems and in overall emergency risk management through national action plans for health security.

  • REPORT on SONAGAZI 50 MW SOLAR POWER PLANT DESIGN REVIEW of DYKE, Sluice GATE ETC
    REPORT ON SONAGAZI 50 MW SOLAR POWER PLANT DESIGN REVIEW OF DYKE, SlUICE GATE ETC. BACKGROUND 1. Electricity Generation Company of Bangladesh (EGCB) has taken up program to build one 50 MW Photo Voltaic Solar Power Plant at Sonagazi Upazila, Feni District, adjacent (eastern side) of the newly built BWDB Musapur Closure (1.08 km length) over little Feni River. The EGCB has acquired a large area of around1000 acres of land on the eastern side of the closure to build Solar Power Plants in phases. In the first phase, the Company has planned to build 50 MW Plant in part of the area measuring around 165 acres to feed the under construction BEZA area on the southern side. This Plant site needs to be protected from tidal flooding and cyclonic surge event for safe operation. A feasibility report has been prepared earlier by Feasibility Report prepared by Wind Force Management Services Pvt. Ltd. India, and Sun trace GmbH - Germany and EQMS Consulting Ltd. – Bangladesh and the report gave an outline of the height of the flood protection dyke and design of the internal drainage system. In order to review the design of the proposed dyke, and other civil infrastructure such drainage network, internal roads etc., the World Bank advised EGCB to hire a short term Disaster Risk / Civil Engineer. 2. Following the recommendation of the Bank, EGCB hired Engr.

Several hours later the cyclone moved north across the Chittagong Districts of Bangladesh. As of 3 June, an estimated 3.3 million people have been affected across 4 dis- tricts (Needs Assessment Working Group 72 hour assessment, 3/6/2017). Cox’s Bazar District suffered the heaviest impact, with an estimated 335,000 people affected. Among them, approximately 12,000 are extreme poor. The cyclone damaged 53,000 shelters across the district, completely destroying 17,000. The most severe impact is concentrated in Teknaf, Kutubdia, Ukhia, and Moheshkali. Six camps, where Rohingya originating from Rakhine State in Myanmar reside with a total population of 150,000 , were ravaged, suffer- ing extensive damage not only to shelters, but also to facilities on-site in- cluding clinics and latrine super-structures. Shelter and WASH needs are the urgent priority to prevent outbreak. House- hold assets including household items and food stocks were soaked and damaged in the wake of the storm, resulting in need for immediate food support and non-food items (NFI). Significant impact on crops, livestock, shrimp farms and fishing assets, especially in Teknaf - Sabrang (Shawporir Dwip) and to a lesser extent Baharchora coastal areas - will extend the need Map 1: Severity Index* for emergency support in the short term.

They are living in 32 camps in the Coxsbazar district, with over 600,000 living in the mega-camp at Kutupalong-Balukhali. The large influx of displaced persons has caused a huge strain on the local people and economy. The Emergency Assistance Project will support the Government of Bangladesh in addressing the immediate needs of the displaced persons in the Coxsbazar district with the objective to help avert the humanitarian crisis. The project scope includes the improvement of water supply and sanitation, disaster risk management, sustainable energy supply, and access roads. The south-eastern part of Bangladesh where the project is being proposed is exposed to various types of natural hazards in an extremely fragile environment with cyclone and monsoon seasons, including flooding, landslides, wind storms, lightning, fires, heat waves, and cold spells.
