Bangladesh is a natural disaster-prone country of an area about 1, 47, 570 sq. km with population about 140 million (BBS, 2012). Bangladesh is facing various types of natural disaster due to its geographic and geologic setting (Carter, 1991). Bangladesh suffers regularly and frequently from disasters like flood, cyclone, drought, earthquake and landslide etc. (Fig.1). Disasters are annual event in Bangladesh (Nasreen, 2004). From time immemorial, the geographical location, land characteristics, multiplicity of rivers, monsoon climate and coastal morphology of Bangladesh have been a mixed blessing (Sabur, 2012). Bangladesh does not meeting all the necessities of pre, during and post disaster activities that cannot deal with to have large collaboration of different organization with highly advanced equipment. Disaster management in Bangladesh is mainly concerns to disaster mitigation and preparedness (Kafiluddin, 1991).

Participatory Earthpuake Vulnerability Assessment: A Case Study on Motijhorna...Kazi Mahfuzur Rahman
Abstract:
This paper aims to assess the earthquake vulnerability of Matijhorna Slum in Chittagong City. Like any other slum, it is a densely populated area with high room density. Chittagong is a hilly region & sometimes earthquake has occurred here though their intensity is not very high. If a large earthquake occurs it will bring immeasurable sufferings especially to the study area as it is vulnerable for landslide occurrence also. The area is not well developed & most of the people are poor to build their living structures strong enough which may resist earthquake occurrence. The vulnerability is assessed using participatory approach as it is the best way to make realize the community how vulnerable they are. Different types of risk factors such as Ground Factor, Secondary Hazards, Demographic Factor, Emergency Preparedness and Structural Factors are considered. Different types of PRA tools and modified PRA tools are used in the study to assess the vulnerability of Earthquake.
Disaster Management can be defined as the organization and management of resources and responsibilities for dealing with all humanitarian aspects of emergencies, in particular preparedness, response and recovery in order to lessen the impact of disasters

Strategies for natural disastger management and mitigation paper - copyJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Destruction is integral part of construction. It is the law of the nature to keep the world going on, both positively and negatively. Accordingly, disasters are integral part of the creation of this planet, which also came into existence as a product of disaster itself. However, nature and context of disasters have changed over the years. Most of the disasters are now the outcome of the way human beings are treating this planet earth, environment and ecology. Ruthless exploitation of resources and destruction of nature, led by rapidly increasing human numbers and attitude of greed and consumerism have led to large number of disasters hitting the planet earth. Looking at the entire context with Disasters, becoming the cause of large scale destruction and damage, they have emerged as an area of major concern and focus of local, natural and international communities. India with more than two third of its area prone to one or other kind of natural disasters, has so far focused largely on post-disaster relief. This approach has not yielded much dividends. Adoption of pre-disaster preparedness to mitigate the losses and sufferings, appears to be a better option to mitigate /dilute the impact of disasters. Vulnerability Altas, depicting the nature and extent of area prone to disasters, should be made available to all user agencies including various professional institutions imparting education in architecture, engineering, planning etc. for managing the disasters at local/regional levels.
Considering the enormity of losses caused by natural disasters it will be appropriate to introduce disaster mitigation and management as one of subject of study in technical institution. Preparation of Regional Plans and Master Plans should clearly identify the disaster prone areas at local level and specify strategies for their safer development. In addition, Preparation of local vulnerability plans, increased role of technical institutions. making suitable amendments in local building bye-laws for making built environment disaster resistant, evolving simple and cost effective techniques of building construction and retrofitting. improving and upgrading locally available building materials and construction techniques, preparing model earthquake and cyclone resistant houses in disaster prone areas, including town planning and development norms as part of technical guidelines published by BIS could be used as options for managing effectively disasters. Global co-operation between nations would be needed for compiling large number of studies undertaken and success stories of disaster prevention, mitigation and management to help and support vulnerable states and nations . Adopting Holistic approach towards disaster mitigation and management and working with nature, restoring the damage caused to environment, ecology and bio-diversity will remain critical, crucial and valuable to minimize disasters

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Vulnerability Analysis
ECONOMIC
VULNERABILITY
Economic vulnerability is generally defined in terms of poverty therefore Madhubani district being economically poor and backward is highly vulnerable
to multi hazards.
Being an agrarian district, the economy of district is primarily dependent on agriculture and its allied sector.
The agriculture in Madhubani is highly dependent on the local rainfall which makes the district highly vulnerable to drought and flood.
SOCIAL
VULNERABILITY
As per 2001 census, 13.48 percent of the population of Madhubani comprises of Schedule Castes, Dalits and 0.04 percent of Schedule Tribes. Such
groups generally get excluded in various programs and become more vulnerable out of their social status.
Understanding of hazard, risk, dos & don'ts, and preparedness & mitigation methods etc. is very limited as a large section of the community is illiterate.
ENVIRONMENTAL
VULNERABILITY
Due to urbanization and limited livelihood opportunities in the rural areas, people are migrating to urban areas creating additional pressure on the
limited resources.
These altogether form the key reasons for exploitation of the available resources, deforestation, unplanned development and various other related
aftereffects including environmental degradation
TECHNOLOGICAL
VULNERABILITY
There is lack of proper and effective technology to forecast, monitor and disseminate early warning information of onset of any threatening event in the
district. This increases the risk of people living in vulnerable areas.
PHYSICAL
VULNERABILITY
The low lying areas, Gram Panchayats inside and near the embankments are vulnerable to water logging problems as the soil in the district retains
water for longer duration. Many areas of the district face floods due to the heavy river (and tributaries) network.

16. Mitigation Planning Measures
Structural Mitigation Measures:
All public buildings like schools, hospitals, health centers should be multi hazard resilient being built on raised grounds and
Multi Hazard Mitigation Actions:
platforms with retrofitting and having adequate exit gates and fire extinguishers in place.
Construct multipurpose community shelters in all vulnerable areas
Houses built in the area should have multi hazard resilient features keeping in tune with cultural housing practices
Watershed management
Non-structural Mitigation Measures:
Risk transfer mechanisms: Establishment and strengthening of insurance schemes and policies which would transfer losses the
risk due to hazard to a third party.
Insurance schemes for crop, cattle, small businesses and life should be strengthened and promoted to minimize economic
losses
Alternate safe housing technology along with rainwater harvesting structures is constantly encouraged & main streamed for
long-term vulnerability reduction. Policies and bye laws could be developed for the same.
Continuous Awareness campaign & encouragement for Disaster proof Habitat planning at community level including
shifting/relocating from low lying areas and villages within embankments to safe raised grounds
Disaster management may include first-aid &rescue & evacuation as a part of school, college, educational institutions (both
techno-tech) curriculum starting from primary level.

17. Specific Strategies and Projects for Mitigation
1
Villages within embankment:
• Any Govt. or other stakeholder project on housing in these villages must have houses on stilts as a pre-requisite design
• Public buildings should be designed keeping in mind that the level of mud/land is going to increase each year resulting in submerging
parts of building.
• Safe Shelters with tube wells and toilets should be constructed on the embankments to house the population when the river spreads
within the width of embankments.
• Crops that can be harvested before the onset of monsoon/flood season may be grown in the region to avoid loss due to seasonal flood.
2
Villages next to the embankment:
• Embankment should be monitored, maintained and strengthened compulsorily.
• Maintenance of sluice gates and latest technologies that minimize accumulation of sand and silt in the passage must be incorporated
which comes with the river water.
• Existing ponds should be cleared and new ponds dug to store the water coming through sluice gates which could be used for
agricultural or fisheries purposes. Crop insurance should be promoted as the region is vulnerable to damages to crops due to drought
and seasonal flooding.

18. Specific Strategies and Projects for Mitigation
3
Villages in low lying areas
• Flood friendly crops that grow well even in presence of inches of water should be grown in the region
• Sanitation schemes should be especially strengthened by PHED and Health organization as per the standard operating procedures
in the region and special measures should be taken to prevent water borne diseases due to presence of stagnant water.
• Households living in huts in the drainage or within the water logged area should be identified and land should be allocated to them
in different part of village.
4
Villages far from the rivers:
• Promote Rainwater harvesting
• Tube wells should be placed in villages.
• Irrigation channels and tube wells use should be promoted amongst farmers.
• Awareness on the government subsidy on the same should be generated.
• Short term crops so that it can be harvested before the monsoon season and the seasonal crops can be harvested before the
onset of winter.

20. Conclusion
The plan is initiative towards the disaster mitigation and has multi hazard management.
The grass root development plan has been the first pilot project towards bottom up
development.
The project has taken in consideration comprehensive approach including disaster mitigation
plan, disaster response strategies, risk management and vulnerability development.
Thus overall plan is a cutting edge approach which hopefully will provide an appropriate
platform for the DDMP’s to be developed on multi hazard mitigation concept in India.
