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.

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 Cyclone Bulbul | November 2019 Geographical Synopsis of Cyclone Bulbul South-west coast 57970 HHs Agriculture is of Bangladesh affected dominant livelihood 0.73 M people Loss of 47 crore in 29 upazilas affected aquaculture affected 92,515 extreme Poor Tidal inundation from and 289000 hector crop 1-3 meter 1,02,847 Poor land have been affected Cyclone “Bubul” reincarnating from Cyclone “Matmo” impacted total 13 southern districts of the country.

The study analysed data from self-reported surveys from 133 members of the sub-district level disaster management committee and government officials working with DRR. Employing the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method, we find that political economy factors explain 68% of the variance in funding allocations. We also show that four categories of political economy factors—power and authority, interest and incentives, institutions, and values and ideas—are significantly influential over the distribution of DRR funding across subdistricts of Bangladesh. Our findings offer important policy implications to reduce the potential risks surrounding political economy influences in fund allocation and advance climate Citation: Islam, Shafiqul, Khondker finance literature.

People today have access to more information than any generation in history, yet many lack the knowledge and critical-thinking skills needed to navigate our challenging information ecosystem. The potential for misinformation has never been greater, and the concept of news literacy has not been widely taught in Bangladesh. Against this background, at the age of information superabundance, citizens should learn to judge the reliability of news reports and other sources of information that is passed along their communication network and news media outlets. The concept of news literacy has emerged from this realization. However, as an academic terminology, the concept of news literacy is rather new in Bangladesh.

The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters. Cyclone AILA caused extensive damage in south-western Bangladesh, destroying houses, crops and livestock. BDRCS. CHF 253,397 (USD 237,528 or EUR 167,208) has been allocated from the International Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the national society in delivering immediate assistance to some 10,000 families (approximately 50,000 people). Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Cyclone AILA made landfall in the south western coast of Bangladesh on 25 May 2009. As of 29 May, government figures indicate that 3,709,334 people have been affected in 15 coastal districts, with 147 dead and 1,131 missing. Up to 230,208 houses were reportedly destroyed while those partially damaged stand at 315,018. The amount of damaged crops is estimated to be 340,660 acres.

Furthermore, the intensity of poverty gets worse by high levels of vulnerability due to increasing frequency and magnitude of natural disasters in the coastal areas adjacent to the Bay of Bengal. The common disasters in Bangladesh include floods, cyclones, tornadoes, river erosion, landslides, droughts and earthquakes as well as the affects of these disasters. The situation is further exaggerated by a continuous rise of population and lack of functional community- based disaster management strategies.
