Standing Orders on Disaster Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh Standing Orders on Disaster Ministry of Food and Disaster Management Disaster Management & Relief Division Disaster Management Bureau 06 April 2010 Standing Orders on Disaster Message Honourable Prime Miniters (To be inserted after getting approval) ii Standing Orders on Disaster FOREWORD Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries in global village. The country has had a long experience of severe cyclonic events, floods, land slides, arsenic, tornadoes and under threat of earthquake. It has experienced of climate changes impact which has threatened to livelihood and food security sectors in Bangladesh. Government of Bangladesh has the Standing Orders on Disaster (SOD) since 1997, which is a living document and need to update periodically. Considering the global climate effect and the recommendation of World Conference on Disaster Reduction 2005, the updating of SOD was essential. Besides, as a signatory of Hyogo Framework for Actions (HFA, 2005-2015), disaster risk reduction and climate change risk issues have to be mainstreamed in all development sectors, ministries and agencies in Bangladesh. I am pleased to learn that the revised SOD has been prepared accordingly. Here tasks and responsibilities of the citizen, public representatives, ministries, agencies and non-government organizations have been clearly spelled out with clarity. With these new features, the SOD has become updated and now it is in line with the new development features in the field of disaster management. I hope that all stakeholders will find it useful. Through this message, I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all responsible persons of the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management, officials and staff of Disaster Management Bureau (DMB) as well as concerned experts of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) for their contribution to the development of this revised version of the Standing Orders on Disaster. (Dr. Muhammad Abdur Razzaque MP) Minister Ministry of Food and Disaster Management iii Standing Orders on Disaster FOREWORD 2010 Bangladesh has experienced many disastrous hazards in the past. Cyclones and floods are the major natural hazards in Bangladesh along with river bank erosion, drought, flash flood, seasonal storm and tornado, and a few man made hazards, such as fire, building collapse, ferry tragedy, road accidents, etc. Bangladesh is also at risk from earthquake and Tsunami and climate change along with new dimension in urban risks due to its fast growing urbanization and density in urban centres. Climate change adaptation issues particularly need consideration both at national and community levels. This has great impact on our hazard frequency and severity, particularly in case of floods and droughts. Government of Bangladesh has already showed its commitment to invest more in the risk reduction framework. We are implementing several programmes to shift the whole of the paradigm of disaster management from response and recovery culture to a risk reduction culture. However, an effective emergency response system remains at the forefront of the disaster management efforts. I am happy to note that the revised Standing Orders on Disaster has taken into consideration this changed risk environment. With the introduction of the new features, the SOD has become updated and now it is in line with the new development in the field of disaster management. I hope that all concerned will find it useful. I would like to convey sincere thanks to my colleagues at the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management, Officials and Staff of Disaster Management Bureau especially to Mr. A.H.M Abdullah, Director (Training and Planning) and Dr. Mahmudul Islam, Learning and Development Specialist of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) for their contribution to the development of this revised version of the Standing Orders on Disaster. I have no doubt that this revised SOD, when followed properly, will contribute significantly to reduce disaster risks and to establish an effective disaster response system in Bangladesh. (Md. Mokhlesur Rahman) Secretary Disaster Management and Relief Division Ministry of Food and Disaster Management iv Standing Orders on Disaster PREFACE 2010 The Standing Orders on Disaster in the current format was first published in 1997 in Bangla. It was modified and translated in English in 1999. Since then, lots of events have taken place at national, regional and global levels. Nationally, three catastrophic disaster events have taken place in Bangladesh: 1) the flood 2004, 2) the Flood 2007 and 3) the Cyclone Sidr 2007. The aftermath of the Flood 2004 has witnessed the organization of the National Workshop on “Options for Flood Risk Reduction in Bangladesh.” About 900 representatives from all government ministries, divisions and departments as well as representatives of NGOs, private sector, media and development partners participated at the workshop, which dealt with not only flood risks but also overall disaster risk reduction issues in Bangladesh. The workshop came up with more than 300 recommendations for implementation. In the same manner, the Disaster Management Bureau has organised national lessons learned workshops after the Flood 2007 and the Cyclone Sidr 2007. All of these exercises have emphasised the importance of disaster risk reduction as well as strengthening of the emergency response system in the country. At the regional and global levels, a number of disaster events, such as Orissa Cyclone 1999, Gujrat Earthquake 2001, Asia Tsunami 2004, the Kashmir Earthquake 2005, etc., have shaken up the very basis of disaster management. Consequently, the World Conference on Disaster Reduction 2005 held in Kobe, Japan organised under the auspices of the UNISDR, has adopted the Hyogo Framework of Action 2005- 15 emphasising disaster risk reduction and strengthening emergency response system. Bangladesh is a signatory to the framework. Considering the fact that South Asia with its population of about 1.3 billion is one of the regions in the world highly exposed to a variety of natural as well as human induced hazards which pose a great development challenge for all SAARC countries, South Asian nations joined hands to develop the SAARC Framework of Action 2006-15 for comprehensive disaster management and emergency preparedness. In this backdrop, it was felt necessary to review and revise the SOD 1999. In order to prepare the initial draft, a committee was formed with the Additional Secretary, Ministry of Food and Disaster Management in the Chair drawing members from Disaster Management Bureau (DMB), Directorate of Relief and Rehabilitation (DRR) and Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP). DMB launched an extensive consultation process involving all stakeholders in order to finalize the draft. The present volume is the end result of that process. The present edition is a substantial improvement over the previous editions. New features introduced in this edition include, among others, the following: 1) better organized table of content, 2) more comprehensive list of definitions, 3) a list of abbreviations, 4) an outline of disaster management regulative framework, 4) introduction of core groups for emergency response at various levels, 5) a new section on multi-agency disaster incident management system, 6) introduction of risk reduction roles and responsibilities for all committees and agencies, 7) new outlines for local level Plans, 8) revised storm waning signals, 9) a report on cyclone shelter design, 10) revised Form D, 10) two new appendixes containing specific roles and responsibilities relating to earthquake and Tsunami hazards, etc. Conceptually, this edition follows a comprehensive approach emphasizing risk reduction as well as emergency response relating to all hazards and all sectors. Consequently, it has to be followed not only at disaster time but also at normal times. Lots of officials and experts have contributed to the development of this revised version especially Mr. A.H.M Abdullah, Director (Training and Planning) and Dr. Mahmudul Islam, Learning and Development Specialist of the Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP). I extend sincere gratitude to all concerned. We hope that all concerned will be benefited from this revised version.

  • National Sustainable Development Strategy (NSDS) 2010-2021
    Message General Economics Division, Planning Commission of the Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh has prepared the National Sustainable Development Strategy 2010-21 (NSDS) to address a critical development aspiration of our time. We need to balance economic, social and environmental requirements of development in order to ensure “the needs of the present generation are met without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own needs.” Despite our past achievements, a large population is still in poverty, unemployment and underemployment rate is still high. This strives achieving high growth so urgent that it is easy to downplay the right of the next generation to natural resources. But a large and growing population living in a relatively small geographical area which is increasingly pressurizing our environment – air, water and soil, dictates the urgency of sustainable development in the country. NSDS fulfils the twin objectives of formulating strategies to meet the challenges of economic, social and environmental sustainability faced by the economy as well as meeting international obligation of our country to global sustainable development principles and agenda. Meeting the sustainable development challenges will need raising the awareness and understanding of people of the challenges and coordinated efforts at the local, regional, national and global levels. The time frame of NSDS coincides with the Perspective Plan of Bangladesh 2010-2021which guides the economy towards its transition to a middle income economy by early next decade of this millennium. The Planning Commission will need to take necessary measures to mainstream the strategies of NSDS into national development planning processes.

Abstract Access to land refers to the ability to use land and other natural resources, to control the resources and to transfer the rights to the land and ta e advantage of other opportunities. Rural poor people depend on agriculture and related activities for their livelihoods, but the ma.ority have limited access to land. 0his ma es agriculture a difficult solution to poverty for people who have few assets and limited alternative ways of ma ing an income. 0here are compelling reasons for ensuring that rural poor people have secure access to land.

  • Land Politics in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Dynamics of Property, Identity and Authority
    Land Politics in Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh: Dynamics of Property, Identity and Authority Fariba Alamgir A thesis submitted to the School of International Development, University of East Anglia, and to the Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen, in partial fullfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. September 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. i Abstract Studies have revealed intense competition over land in Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) of Bangladesh. This study examines land dispute processes within and between hill people (Chakma Community) and Bengali settlers (who migrated through government initiated settlement program in 1979) in CHT. By understanding property, identity and authority as relational; my study explores mutually constitutive processes between property and authority relations, and between property and identity relations. It investigates how property in land is claimed and defined in the context of dynamic authority relation in land control, multiple categorisations and identity claims in CHT. By carrying out a historical analysis of state-making, I argue that CHT remains a frontier because of- the distinctive legal and administrative systems, ambivalence in property system, ongoing processes of reconfiguration of institutional arrangements in land control and state’s territorial strategies to control its population and space. The study employs an ethnographic approach and data are collected by engaging with disputants, institutional actors, academics, members of political organizations and civil society.

  • Bangladesh Report
    Empowering the poor and marginalized through land reform CSO Land Reform Monitoring Report in Bangladesh 20181 An initiative of the Land Watch Asia Campaign n estimated 66 percent of the citizens of Bangladesh live in poverty, the highest level Ain South Asia (The Borgen Project, 2017). And because they are poor, they are also powerless; thus, severely restricting their ability to use and own land to live and work in. In an agrarian country like Bangladesh, poverty can be considered a direct consequence of the lack of access to or ownership of land. The less land one possesses or has access to, the poorer he or she is and also the more powerless he or she becomes. This lack of power and influence, and indeed also of education, hampers the ability of the poor – usually coming from marginalized groups such as religious minorities, indigenous peoples, women, and small farmers – to fight for their rights to land. Thus, even if they are legally entitled to some land, they invariably fail to secure the property. More often than not, those lands have already been secured by politically-powerful and influential people. And so the cycle of poverty continues through generations. There are other key issues and development trends over the past 10 years that impact on the rural poor’s access to land. One of these is the development of commercial 1 This is an abridged version of the CSO Land Reform Monitoring Report in Bangladesh: 2018 prepared by the Human Development Resource Centre (HDRC) and the Association for Land Reform and Development (ALRD) as part of the Land Watch Asia (LWA) campaign.

Ban Open-Pit Coal Mining, Defend Indigenous Rights British company is trying to sell a bill of goods to one of the world’s poorest countries, Bangladesh. Global Coal Management Resources (GCM) wants to bulldoze 12,000 acres of Bangladesh’s most productive Aagricultural land and replace it with one of the world’s largest open-pit coal mines. By their own account, they would forcibly displace 40,000 people in the Phulbari region, including at least 2,200 Indigenous people whose history in the area dates back 5,000 years. A government-sponsored study estimates that 130,000 people in more than 100 villages would be immediately displaced, and another 100,000 would gradually be forced to leave as their wells and irrigation canals run dry from the mining. Independent researchers and the Jatiya Adivasi Parishad (National Indigenous Union) estimate that 50,000 Indigenous people belonging to 23 different tribal groups would be displaced or impoverished by the mine. Tens of thousands of Bangladeshi citizens have protested against the Phulbari mine project since 2005. After government forces opened fire during a nonviolent protest in 2006, killing three people and wounding hundreds, a national strike closed down the country for four days. It ended when the government agreed to ban open- pit coal mining in Phulbari and kick the British company (then known as Asia Energy) out of the country—a pledge they have not fulfilled.

  • Bangladesh 2018 International Religious Freedom Report
    BANGLADESH 2018 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution designates Islam as the state religion but upholds the principle of secularism. It prohibits religious discrimination and provides for equality for all religions. The government continued to provide guidance to imams throughout the country on the content of their sermons in its stated effort to prevent militancy and monitor mosques for “provocative” messaging. In March police completed the investigation of the case involving the 2016 killing of 22 persons, most of them non-Muslims, at the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka and forwarded it for prosecution. Legal proceedings against the attackers continued through year’s end. On March 30, led by a local political Awami League party leader, approximately 80 armed members of the Muslim community in Jamalpur District attacked members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim community at an Ahmadiyya mosque, injuring 22 Ahmadis. Despite government orders to the contrary, village community leaders, often working together with local religious leaders, continued using extrajudicial fatwas to punish individuals, mostly women, for perceived “moral transgressions.” In April the government announced its intent to fund an approximately 76 billion taka ($904.76 million) project to construct madrassahs in every electoral constituency. Various local organizations and media reports said the project was a political tactic by the government to use religion to influence voters during an election year. Members of religious minorities, including Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians, who were sometimes also members of ethnic minorities, stated the government remained ineffective in preventing forced evictions and land seizures stemming from land disputes. The government continued to place law enforcement personnel at religious sites, festivals, and events considered possible targets for violence.
