Bangladesh is a disaster prone country in the world. Due to Geographical disadvantage, the

environment, losing balance of power, are facing various catastrophe like inundation,

Tornados, drought, Erosion of river, earthquake, various cyclone, fogginess, white squall and

so on. Bangladesh is river mothered country. The erosion of river for over flow of water,

destroy the location of river side and all the inhabitants lose their all sort of livelihood and

livestock and took shelter being pauper in the hovel on the high land or roads. Not only that,

but also, men and industries’ created catastrophe become the bane for calamity and people use

to live in alarming plight. And also, by the horrific effect, all sort of assets, lives, livelihood,

livestock and other resources of the locality may fall in danger. It does not destroy only the

located people, also create obstacle for National and economical resources of the country.

Though it is a disaster prone country but long term’ Disaster Management plan’ has not been

prepared for saving the human being, their all sort of resources, livelihood, animals and other

asset, rather have been given importance to rehabilitation and on relief. Recently

Government of Bangladesh has taken an initiative on the subject ‘Disaster Management

Planning’ through CDMP 2. To implement the plan in action, primarily has taken an initiative

for indication ‘Disaster Risk’ through conversation with all sorts of local people, Union and

Upazila Management Committee. For Preparedness and reducing risk ‘Disaster Management

Plan’ has provided to Bagha Upazila by indicating ‘local disaster risks’ through ‘Disaster

Management Plan’ which will be efficacy for the forthcoming days.

At the time to providing the Plan all classes of people like male, female, cultivator, landless

people, aged person, local elite persons, Union and Upazila Disaster Management Committee

Members (UzDMC) were congregated. Locally this conspicuous doings have been done by the

hard toiling of Shushilan Staffs and related analysis individuals. Disaster Management

Committee of Bagha Upazila under Rajshahi District has provided this plan by efficacy toiling

and restless endeavor. All kinds of important heart rending calamities as, awareness creation

among family members and locality, to take preparation for facing risk would have to use

local recourses, replacement of living assets and people to a safety place, rescue impediment

people, necessary goods indication, and relief distribution have been included in the Upazila

‘Disaster Management Plan’. If that plan come into being all kinds of calamities would be

reduce and all sorts of materials of the people would be safe. Not only that, but also have

included preparation before and after disaster, mitigation disaster by using Local resources,

social assets, safety places, indication the causes of disaster, disaster warning sign, mostly

disaster prone location, climate changes and its horrific effect, development sectors and name

of the local volunteers as well as organization.

I am giving thanks from my core of heart to those very persons who have taken part and have

given advice, like all Government and Non-Government Organizations and local persons to

perform the conspicuous act in good manner. I am confident; this Disaster Management Plan

which has prepared by the coherent cooperation of local people, Local Governances and other

local organizations should help to Disaster Management Committee and other sectors

(Government, International and National NGO, as well as Donor) to perform all acts as a

overall plan.
