Earthquake and Bangladesh:
Overview of Earthquake
Earthquake in Bangladesh
Earthquake probability in Bangladesh
Causes of earthquake in Bangladesh
Earthquake risk in Dhaka
Effects of earthquake in Bangladesh
Earthquake risk mitigation in Bangladesh
Conclusion
Shaking of the earth caused by the sudden displacement of rock blocks along plate boundaries and faults.
Reasons can be natural or human activities. The most common scale used for measuring an earthquake is Richter Scale.
Earthquakes have secondary hazards like flood, landslides, fire, Tsunamis, Liquefaction etc.
Due to the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate beneath the Okinawa plate and Amurian plate, Japan has observed a series of several high-intensity earthquakes.
Death tolls from major event sighted as 255,000 at Tangshan in China 1976.
By its geographical position, Bangladesh is being treated as one very vulnerable country with its high risk of earthquake attack.
Bangladesh is located in a tectonically active much of the country including Chittagong, Sylhet, Dhaka, Rangpur, Bogra, Mymensingh, Comilla, Rajshahi are very much vulnerable to major earthquake disaster.
Bangladesh can be divided into three main earthquake zones:
Zone-1: Sylhet-Mymensingh is with the possible magnitude of 7 on Richter scale.
Zone-2: Chittagong-Comilla-Dhaka and Tangail are with the possible magnitude of 6 on Richter scale.
Zone-3: Rest of the country is with possible magnitude of 6 on Richter scale.
Effects of earthquake in Bangladesh:
Water supply failure as almost all the deep tube wells are run by power, and possible water line damage
Damage of roads and blockage of traffic due to falling of debris from collapsed buildings and other installations on or near roads.
Some of the hospital buildings may collapse killing a large number of inmates and stopping medical facilities for the disaster victims.
Some of the school building may collapse killing and injuring a large number of students
An after shock may cause further collapse of many of the already damaged buildings.
A few rescue equipment whatever is available, can not be operated due to the lack of guidance, availability of operators, some will be non-functional, some will be under the rubbles, some can not find access to rescue spots due to road blockage, etc.

Bangladesh is facing a high risk of moderate to strong earthquakes that may result in widespread damage and loss of thousands of lives also the risk of tsunami as four active sources of earthquake in the Bay of Bengal can generate tremors with a magnitude of over 7 on the Richter scale in the Bay affecting the country seriously. Bangladesh is ill prepared to tackle the aftermath of any strong earthquake. Five geological fault lines run through the country, exposing it to highly vulnerable of a major quake by the experts. If a massive earthquake with 7 or greater magnitude occurred in this country will led a major human tragedy due to the faulty structures of many buildings and proper awareness.
The Kathmandu Valley is densely populated with nearly 2.5 million people, and the quality of building construction is often poor. The epicenter of today's disaster was 80 kilometers (50 miles) northwest of the city, and had a depth of only 11 kilometers (7 miles), which is considered shallow in geological terms. This earthquake, the worst quake to hit Nepal (a poor South Asian nation) since 1934, collapsed buildings and houses, leveled centuries-old temples and triggered avalanches in the Himalayas.

The following is a power point presentation on the Nepal Earthquake 2015. it contains all the necessary details such as affected areas, loss of life and property etc.
There are also some methods that can be used during an earthquake.
