The Meteorological Dept. of Bangladesh (BMD) started constant monitoring and communicating through routine bulletins. “Bulbul” headed towards Bangladesh’s coastal regions from the BoB with a maximum sustained wind speed of 120 kmph rising upto 150 kmph in gusts. Thereafter it re-curved northeastwards and moved towards West Bengal - Bangladesh Coasts on 9 November as a Severe Cyclonic Storm with maximum sustained wind speed of 110-120 Kmph gusting to 135 Kmph.

The low-lying areas of the coastal districts of Chattogram, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Feni, Chandpur, Borguna, , Patuakhali, Barishal, Pirozpur, Jhalokathi, Bagherhat, , Satkhira and their offshore islands and chars were supposed to be inundated by storm surge of 5-7 feet height above normal astronomical tide. BMD advised to hoist the great danger signal no TEN (R) TEN to the projected districts since the early hours of 9 November. Also all fishing boats and trawlers over north bay were advised to remain in shelter till further notice. The worst impacts are expected in the Delta region, with less impactful conditions to the southeast. While moving through the Sundarban, the cyclone became weaker and reached Barguna and Patuakhali with the windspeed of 101 Kmph as Sever Cyclone. Then it moved toward further north-east with 83.68 Kmph as Depression crossing Jhalokathi and Lakshmipur. The districts that suffered Peripheral effect of the cyclone are Bagerhat, Barguna, , Bhola, Jhalokati, Khulna, Patuakhali, Pirojpur, Satkhira, Bagerhat, Barguna, Barisal. The low impacted districts that ecperienced the wind speed from 60-80 kmph are: Bagerhat, Barisal, Bhola, Chandpur, Cumilla, Jhalokati, Khulna, Lakshmipur, Madaripur, Noakhali, Pirojpur, Satkhira, Shariatpur.

According to the National Disaster Response Coordination Cell (NDRCC) several preparedness measures were taken by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) under the leadership of Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR). An Inter-Ministerial Disaster Management Committee (IMDMC) meeting chaired by MoDMR’s State Minister with the participation of the Principal Secretary of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the Information Secretary, Armed Forces Division (AFD) and other officials as well as with the Secretary General of Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS) took place on 9 November. During the meeting, it was decided that 18 million people will be evacuated to cyclone shelters, sufficient allocation of relief items to the probable affected districts and to suspend all waterway transport.

Till 9 Nov. Government of Bangladesh (GoB) has allocated the standard packages for cyclone response in 13 Districts: 4300 Met. Ton of GR Rice, 18.5 M GR Cash, 14000 packages of dry food, 900000 BDT for Infant food and 900000 BDT for Fodder. Risk information was communicated to the 13 most at-risk districts and evacuation to cyclone shelters of most exposed populations were undertaken with the logistics support from the District Commissioners (DCs) and the volunteers of the Cyclone Preparedness Program (CPP).

The Needs Assessment Working Group (NAWG) under the HCTT produced 2 SITREPs on 8 & 9 November 2019 as well as two flash updates were produced by UNRC office. In addition, a Joint Analysis of Disaster Exposure (JADE) undertaken by OCHA, WFP and Pacific Disaster Centre (PDC) was released. On 10 November, Inter cluster meeting decided to go for NAWG led joint rapid assessment with the technical support from VAM unit of UN-WFP. Later on NAWG technical member had a meeting on 11 November and planned for secondary information based assessment. Available SoS form , exposure to cyclonic wind and rainfall and relevant secondary data analyzed and triangulated for priority identification in order to addressing the emergency needs along with recovery and preparedness initiatives. Recommendation - Immediate

After closely analyzing the cyclone ‘Bulbul’ and the measures taken for it, NAWG has come up with some concrete recommendation and improvement areas:  Cash for Work (CfW) interventions – Multiple benefits (cash flow, food security and repair), for their livelihoods are recommended  A strategy and immediate action plan should be devised by the local government for immediate recovery of critical infrastructure  Improved emergency shelter, keeping arrangements for education in emergency  People should be made aware of not standing under trees during Disasters  To meet the emergency shelter needs following are the recommendation based on Bangladesh shelter cluster standards and guidelines:  Provide in-kind emergency shelter materials like tarpaulin, tent and toolkit support  Provide technical support for house repairing along with cash assistance.  Provide emergency support to GBV victims, mental health support for adolescent girls affected by the Cyclones Recommendation - Overall

 Establish long term solutions for people who's houses got partially/fully affected by the cyclone  Centralized, updated and accessible crisis information management  More advocacy to increase safety net and accelerated restoration of affected people’s livelihood  More investment in resilience building and preparedness is required. The natural resilience in people lessened the potential impacts of the cyclone “Bulbul”. Moreover, the effective disaster preparedness, early actions undertaken by national authorities and partners resulted in a limited loss of lives and reduced livelihood and infrastructures damages.  The underlying poor food security in affected areas could cause the nutrition status of people to deteriorate quickly. To mitigate this nutrition capacity should be enhanced. Activities should include:  Nutrition screening and referral  Targeted supplementary feeding for PLD and malnourished children  Management of SAM and MAM identified children  Replenish the emergency Nutrition supplies  Provide learning materials to children where these have been lost  Rehabilitation of water points, tube wells and latrines  Distribute hygiene kits and disseminate hygiene messages to reduce water borne diseases.  As people return home, assistance will be required to rebuild houses, especially for the most vulnerable households  Provisioning of low-cost resilient housing as grants for the extreme poor HHs and/or financing resilient housing with favorable conditions for low-income households  Plantation of local varieties of trees which can withstand and/or protect communities from cyclonic surge in the long run  Hygiene promotion on emergency WASH in most Cyclone prone areas  Support the GoB in developing a strategy for immediate recovery of critical infrastructure  Intensive health promotion to raise awareness about Post-Cyclone emergency induced contagious diseases, snakebite and other health hazards  Support women of reproductive age through the provision of dignity kits and clean delivery kits for safe child birth  Ensure SRHE kits and services establish a reliable referral system so that anecdotes for GBV cases in potential areas like cyclone Shelter and their home can link up the victim with intervention Geographical Synopsis of Cyclone Bulbul

Tidal inundation: Tidal surge with storm wind inundated the coastline and coastal low lying upazilas of Shyamnager of Shatkhira, Koyra and Dacope of , Mongla and Sarankhola of Bagerhat district, Patharghta, Barguna Sadar and Amtoli of , Kolapara and Golachipa of , Charfasson and Monpura of with some embankment damage in Barguna district. B. High wind: Storm wind of 130-140 km/h swept over the south western districts of Bangladesh causing damage to the rural housing and standing crops and ghers (aquaculture and shrimp enclosures) until it gradually decreased and turned into a deep depression. C. Heavy Rainfall: The weakening cyclone while converting into a land depression caused medium to heavy rainfall over the country.

Due to the presence of Sundarbans the wind speed reduced to minimal as well as the tidal surges were not that high as anticipated. But out of the three aspects of this cyclone, the rainfall cause the severe impact on agriculture and aquaculture. The highest rainfall were recorded in different cyclone affected districts which inundated the

The Meteorological Dept. of Bangladesh (BMD) constantly monitored and communicated the risks through routine bulletins.

“Bulbul” headed towards Bangladesh’s coastal regions from the BoB with a maximum sustained wind speed of 120 kmph rising to 150 kmph in gusts and Khulna, Barisal, and adjoining Southwestern coastal regions of Bangladesh started experiencing the peripheral effects since early hours of 9 November. Thereafter it re-curved northeastwards and moved towards West Bengal - Bangladesh Coasts between Sagar Islands (West Bengal) and Khepupara (Bangladesh), across Sunderban delta around midnight of 9 th November as a Severe Cyclonic Storm with maximum sustained wind speed of 110-120 Kmph gusting to 135 Kmph. It was projected that under the influence of the very severe cyclonic storm “Bulbul” and the coinciding wth moon phase, the low-lying areas of the coastal districts of Chattogram, Noakhali, Laxmipur, Feni, Chandpur, Borguna, Bhola, Patuakhali, Barishal, Pirozpur, Jhalokathi, Bagherhat, Khulna, Satkhira and their offshore islands and chars would be inundated by storm surge of 5-7 feet height above normal astronomical tide. GoB Preparedness-Early Warning and Impact Cyclone Bulbul : Date released: 13 November 2019 Needs Assessment Working Group Bangladesh

 BMD advised to hoist the great danger signal no TEN (R) TEN to the projected districts in the morning on 9 November. Also all fishing boats and trawlers over north bay were advised to remain in shelter till further notice.

 On 10 November 12AM BST, the Very Sever Cyclone Storm (VSCS) made landfall on Sagardip, West Bengal. While moving north-eastwards it became more and more weak and crossed the border of Bangladesh around 3AM BST across Khepupara, Sundarban, Khulna. Around 6AM the Cyclone became significantly weak and turned into deep depression over Bagerhat, Barishl and Patuakhali (BMD Bulletin 30). Thereafter the depression ended inducing heavy rainfall, windstorm on the cyclone affected areas and fluctuation of wind- pressure on the BoB.

 According to the actual cyclone path, after the landfall with 148 Kmph wind- speed as a very Sever Cyclonic Storm, in Sagardip, West-Bengal India, the cyclone moved toward north-east. It entered Bangladesh from with 130.35 Kmph as Sever Cyclone and then crossed Khulna and Bagerhat District. While moving through the Sundarban, the cyclone became weaker and reached Barguna and Patuakhali with the windspeed 101 Kmph as Sever Cyclone. Then it moved toward further north-east with 83.68 Kmph as Deep Depression Crossing Jhalokathi and Lakshmipur.

From analyzing the Cyclone Track, Wind speed and rainfall it can be said that Satkhira is the worst affected districts. However, interestingly there were enough preparation and evacuation activities in both Patuakhali and Cox’s Bazar. On the other hand from the box plot we can see that, even though the Satkhira got a lot of people to take shelter, it has very few capacity of sheltering people against the Number of Shelter and People in Shelter (Number of Shelter in Bracket) evacuation.

Recommendation  Ensure continuity of education by:  finalizing damage assessment reports to disburse education in emergency funds under PEDP4 for schools damaged as a result of cyclone  providing funds for minor repair work and cleaning including of WASH blocks for schools used as temporary cyclone shelters  Monitor attendance of students including those at risk of dropping out to prevent negative coping mechanisms that families might opt Cyclone Bulbul 2019: Environment-Impact on Sundarbans

Impact on Sundarbans The cyclone Bulbul landfall on the Sundarbans area of West Bengal (India) and passess the this mangrove forest and enter Bangladesh through Buri Goalini Range of the Sundarbans in the of Stakhira Districts in Bangladesh. The actual track shown that this mangrove forest reduced its wind speed potentially and weakened the cyclonic strom that’s why Bngladesh didn't face much casualties. According to BMD; It would have been worse if the cyclone came in without the resistance of Sundarban,"

 While eye of the cyclone passes over the Sundarbans, it took the toll of tropical cyclone Bulbul. When tropical cyclone Bulbul enter Bangladesh the speed of the sustained wind speed was about 148 kmph. With time it passes over the Khulna, Chandpai and Sharankhola range of the Sundarban and potentially reduce the speed of the cyclonic wind.  On the Khulna range the wind speed reduced to 130kmph from 148kmh within 6 hours of entering in Bangladesh.  All 63 camps and four range offices of the Bangladesh Forest Department in Sundarban has conducted the initial assessment. In the west side of Sundarbans, 4,002 trees worth Tk 41.73 lakh were damaged; in the eastern areas of Sundarban, 587 trees worth around Tk 62,000 were damaged.

Impact Level Potentially Damaged areas

High with 148 to 130 kmp 500 sqkm wind speed

Moderate Peripheral 300 sqkm areas

Damages and Disruption: While minimizing the impact of cyclone, its is estimated that Sundarbans in Bangladesh affected severely with the damges of flora and fauna in about 800 sq km areas which may impacted the whole ecosystem of this avior mangrove froest. From the GIS analysis, Buri Goalini range identified as worst affected zone.

Recommendations :  For time being a tourism and other local people movement should be restricted.  Proper assessment of damages for evidence based planning by concern technical ministries/authorities.  Effective initiatives and mandates for preserving ecosystem. Food Security: Agriculture & Livelihood Damage and Disruption Initial information received from the FSC members including Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock on the cyclone Bulbul indicates 16 districts are affected in terms of Agriculture & livelihood. Among these districts, 5 districts are worse effected. Worse affected districts are: Khulna, Bagerhat, Noakhali, Barishal and Bhola. Although the wind speed was lower then expected, the heavy rainfall and tidal surge caused massive damage of standing crops. Total agricultural loss is USD 31 million. Winter vegetable and Ropa Aman is worse affected crops. Muster seeds and pulse is also affected heavily. Total 289,006 hectors of agriculture land was affected and out of this 22,836 hector agriculture land’s crops were completely damaged. Markets are not yet functional properly due to access issue. Major livelihood of the affected area is agriculture and fisheries complemented by Livestock.

Distress & Need Winter vegetable is the worse affected followed by Ropa Aman. Total loss of winter vegetable is USD 9.3 Million and Ropa Aman is USD 5.5 million. Agriculture inputs and Food Security Livelihood assistance is in need as the cyclone happened just before harvesting. Food assistance may require for the vulnerable HH who have lost their crops and reproduction of agriculture. Recommendation . Considering the livelihood pattern, timing and past history of cyclone (all these districts were also worst affected districts by cyclone SIDR,AILA and less likely to be resilient) a climate resilient recovery programme is required. . Environmental protection need to be addressed . Land / embankment stabilization through forestation is an identified need . The damage on human and agriculture was less due to the coverage of the Sundarban. The cyclone cased massive damage on this mangrove forest and a recovery for forestation is also needed to build climate resilience. . Food assistance may require for the vulnerable HH who have lost their crops, fisheries and livelihood until the reproduction of agriculture. Food Security: Fisheries and Livestock Damage and Disruption Initial information received from the FSC members including Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock on the cyclone Bulbul indicates 10 districts are affected in terms of Fisheries and Livestock. Among these districts, 4 districts are worse effected. Worse affected districts are: Barishal, Satkhira, Khulna and Bhola. Although the wind speed was lower then expected, the heavy rainfall and tidal surge caused massive damage of Fisheries and Livestock. Most of the ponds and ghers were flooded and fishes were washed away. Total Fisheries loss is USD 5.5 million. Total 11,223 hectors of pond/gher land was affected. The initial livestock damage is reported as USD 285,000.

Major livelihood of the affected area is agriculture and fisheries complemented by Livestock.

Distress & Need Source: DLS 2019 For the 4 worse affected districts, 7% HH in Barisal (36,267 HH), 6% HH in Satkhira (30,060 HH), 6% HH in Khulna (38,318 HH) and 16% HH in Bhola (63,841 HH) are dependent on Fisheries. • Immediate rehabilitation for fisheries is required.

Recommendation . Focus on climate resilience fisheries. . Address the salinity issue of the Ponds and Ghers due to the tidal surge. Gender Based Violence (GBV)

Damage and disruption: Where there’s a high prevalence of violence against women - 57% in and 44.6% in and where girls are married off before the age of 18 at a rate 69% at and 74% in Satkhira district - any scale of natural disasters exacerbate the vulnerability of women, children and adolescent girls in such situation. Primarily sexual and reproductive health rights and safety of women and adolescent girls in the affected areas are highly compromised in such situations. Damage to households and income source (e.g. crops, livestock) has compounding impact on the rights of women, children and adolescent girls – particularly violence against women, abuse, exploitation, child marriage, etc. There are evidences of displacement highly increasing the risks of gender based violence. Distress and need: In absence of adequate preparedness and mitigation measures, it often becomes challenging to assess and quantify the needs of the vulnerable groups that are affected. For example, the current data shows approximately 7-10% of the affected population in all the districts are adolescent (age group 10-19 years) – which indicates humanitarian response must address reproductive health needs and protection needs during displacement and rehabilitation phase. Similarly, two of the upzillas in Satkhira district - Shymanagar and Kaligonj has 12,794 affected population of which 3,200 female headed households (FHH) affected, 532 people with disability, 1,610 single women (widow/divorcee) – indicating prioritized interventions based on needs. The ethnic and religious minorities in the Shyamnagar upazillas are mostly affected. There are reports of key population (sex workers) affected in Khulna districts - household damage of 60 female sex workers. Recommendations:  In awareness and advocacy campaigns on disaster preparedness – emphasize on safety and security of women, children and adolescent girls during evacuation and in the shelters; special attention for same group displaced in temporary shelters (in embankments, roadside etc.);  Undertake assessment of the shelters to ensure separate and functional sanitation facilities for women and girls;  Undertake scoping of pre-positioning some emergency sexual and reproductive health kits in shelter homes and/or nearby accessible points;  Emergency shelter assistance must be ensured to the key population (sex workers) in Khulna district;  Cash assistance for house repairing should prioritize i) single (widow or divorcee) female headed households from the lowest wealth quintile ii) the key population in the region iii) religious and ethnic minorities.

Considering this situation, disease surveillance has been enhanced. Additional emergency drugs and medical supplies have been supplied to manage further disease outbreak and replenish emergency medical buffer stock.

Recommendations (Long term)

 Enhance trauma and injury management services at affected areas and provide of mental health and psychosocial support services for individuals and communities affected by the cyclone.

 Conduct training workshop on ‘First Aid and Mass Casualty Management’ for health and disaster management officials in cyclone prone districts. Cyclone Bulbul 2019: Nutrition Damage and Disruption

There are 2.1 million people were moved to the cyclone shelters. Among them 126,000 was Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) and 63,000 Lactating mothers. It is evident that there is no private space for the Lactating mothers. Considering the livelihood pattern, timing and past history of cyclone (all these districts were also worst affected districts by cyclone SIDR,AILA and less likely to be resilient) there is a strong possibility of adopting negative coping strategy which will deteriorate the Nutrition status of these districts. So far no damage is reported on Stabilization Centers. IPHN is assessing the situation.

Distress & Need No supply of F-75 and F-100 to treat SAM children. Lack of private spaces in the cyclone shelters. Food supplementation/assistance for the Households having PLW and lost their standing crops, fisheries or livelihood activities. IFA suppliant for PLD and adolescent girls

Cyclone Bulbul 2019: Shelter Damage and Disruption Due to TC Bulbul, more than 150,000 houses have partially or fully damaged in the costal districts like Satkhira, Khulna, Bhola, Bagerhat, Patuakhali, Barguna, Pirojpur. People who lost their houses completely, currently living on the embarkment, roadside or near to their damage houses. These affected people are trying to build the make sift shelter with the locally available resources and the materials from the damage houses. Some of the affected people are living with their neighbor and relative’s houses.

Damaged Houses

Distress & Need Shelter is being identified as one of the top priority area due to damage information of government’s SoS, media and other sources. As of now, more than 150,000 houses have been partially or fully damaged in the cyclone affected districts. Since, affected people are living on the embarkment, roadside, neighbor and relative’s houses; concerns have been highlighted in terms of privacy, dignity, protection from cold weather and congested living conditions. Shelter repairing assistance is essential for fully damaged and severely partially damaged houses.

Recommendation To met the emergency shelter needs following are the recommendation based on Bangladesh shelter cluster standards and guidelines:  Provide in-kind emergency shelter materials like tarpaulin, tent and toolkit support to build makeshift shelter.  Provide technical support for house repairing along with cash assistance.  For fully damaged houses it’s recommended to assist the cyclone affected families through providing new shelter along with technical assistance. Note: https://www.sheltercluster.org/sites/default/files/docs/sc_bangladesh_standards_and_guidelines_0.pdf Cyclone Bulbul 2019: SRHE

Women of reproductive age, pregnant women and girls are all vulnerable groups in times of any humanitarian situation. Thus, it is of high importance trying to meet the SRH needs of a population, especially when an emergency strike so that the risk of preventable maternal and newborn deaths, amongst other risks, are mitigated. It is important to try and make women feel safe, both for those who has been evacuated and live in shelters, but also for those who live in their homes. If possible, breast feeding corners and other safe spaces ought to be established in the shelters. Furthermore, referral mechanisms needs to be put in place so that the pregnant women in the shelters and in their homes can access health care facilities and hospitals, and reproductive health kits ought to be distributed.

Out of the People Out of Number Affected in The shelter (14 people ( 7 Districts) Districts) Number of currently pregnant women 29,142 10,424 (excluding the additional 15% of pregnancies that will end in miscarriage)

Number of women of reproductive age 516,701 184,826 (WRA) Number of sexually active men in the 413,361 147,861 population

Recommendations Advocate for SRH to be included in humanitarian preparedness and response plans and actions.  Assess health care facilities and health care workers capacity to respond to the SRH needs of women in times of an humanitarian crisis.  Ensure that the MISP can be implemented in targeted, affected districts.  Mobile health camps can be placed in the highly impacted areas to provide health care especially to pregnant women, injured people and for the poorest who have been heavily impacted and lost their houses and affected by cold weather.  Distribution of reproductive health kits and Mama Kits for newborn babies in disaster- affected districts.  Deployment of midwives that have been trained in working in humanitarian settings.  Ensure transportation is available for referral and access to health care facilities and hospitals.
