The Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) of the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) is a strategic institutional and programming approach that is designed to optimise the reduction of long-term risk and to strengthen the operational capacities for responding to emergencies and disaster situations including actions to improve recovery from these events. The programme is being implemented by the Ministry of Food and Disaster Management (MoFDM) and is supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UK Department for International Development – Bangladesh (DFID-B) and the European Commission (EC). Component 4a (Tsunami and Earthquake Preparedness) of CDMP is EC funded component that recognizes growing vulnerability to earthquakes caused by increasing population densities and unplanned development. Under this component, CEGIS has been assigned to conduct the study on “Update available information on cyclone shelter management for tsunami and storm surge preparedness”.
