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.

Bangladesh Toponymic Factfile
TOPONYMIC FACT FILE BANGLADESH Country name in English Bangladesh (PCGN recommended name) Country name in Bengali বা廬লাদেশ (Banladesh) (romanization in brackets)1 State title in English People’s Republic of Bangladesh (PCGN recommended name) State title in Bengali গণপ্রজাতন্ত্রী বা廬লাদেশ (Ganaprajatantri Banladesh) (romanization in brackets) 1 Name of citizen Bangladeshi Official languages Bengali (Bangla) (ben)2 3 Script Bengali (Bangla) (ben) ISO-3166 country code (alpha-2/alpha-3) BD/BGD Capital Dhaka Population 162.7 million4 Introduction The area now Bangladesh emerged in 1947 as part of the partition of India, which divided the British Indian province of Bengal between India and Pakistan. West Bengal became a province of India, and East Bengal became a province of Pakistan, separated from West Pakistan by around 1000 miles of Indian territory. East Bengal was renamed East Pakistan in 1955, and in December 1971 declared independence from Pakistan and became the independent nation of Bangladesh. Geographical names policy Most Bangladeshi toponyms are usually written in the Bengali script but Survey of Bangladesh (SoB) also produces Roman-script maps. Please note that SoB’s Roman-script mapping may not be totally consistent in the spelling of names, therefore it is PCGN policy to use the spellings as found on the most recent SoB Roman-script sources. Names may also be taken from the NGA GEOnet Names Server (GNS)5. The Hunterian System was used by the Survey of India to romanize the geographical names of present-day India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Bangladesh continues to use the Hunterian System, although the macron (long bar), that was utilised to indicate vowel length, has not been used since the 1980s by SoB and PCGN follows this practice.
