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 Badalgachhi Upazilla 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 Badalgachhi Upazilla under Naogaon District have 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.

Introduction to Local Area

1.1 Background
In the Standing Order on Disaster (SOD), it is ordered to prepare the Disaster Management
Plan including Risk Reduction and Contingency Plan at the level of District, Upazilla,
Municipality and City Corporation. CDMP has taken the issue of Disaster Management Plan
with additional importance. The permanency and effectiveness of the plan depend on close
and fruitful action process of the organizations and institutions and especially the people
involved. This Disaster Management Plan is prepared for the time span of 3-5 years.
In the world map, Bangladesh is one of the disaster prone areas. Each and every district of
this country gets more or less affected by disasters. Badalgachhi upazilla under Naogaon
district is one of these disaster prone zones. Low rainfall is the main problem for the Barindra
(dry and high) zones and flood for the low areas. Every year Badalgachhi upazilla becomes a
victim to disasters that badly affect life and livelihood of common people. Yet no effective
planning is found at upazilla level. As a part of Comprehensive Disaster Management, this
disaster management plan is equipped for Badalgachhi upazilla.
Drought is one of the prime disasters of Badalgachhi, Naogaon. As the only river, Chhota
(small) Jamuna particularly influences the climate of this upazilla. This river carries a little
water in dry seasons when the rate of rainfall also remains very low. Besides, the annual
average rainfall that is almost 77 cm. is also awfully less. Moreover, the nature of land is
plain and high. As a result, the water level is very low here. Therefore, in the dry season,
scarcity of river water and low rainfall together cause dreadful moister pressure that has made
this region one of the drought prone areas.
1.2 Objectives of the Plan

Bangladesh is a very risky and highly disaster prone country. But, it is noticed that
noteworthy preparation plan have been hardly taken to prevent the usual disasters at
government and private level yet. Therefore, this manuscript of action plan is prepared with a
view to meeting the following objectives.
To create mass-awareness concerning the risk of disaster at family and community

level, and to invent pragmatic ways of risk reduction at the level of family,
community, union administration, upazilla and district commission
To promote risk reduction and development of process implementation system
ensuring the most possible utilization of local assets
To ensure the practice and implementation of locally prepared planning for
evacuation, rescue, need analysis, relief and immediate re-habilitation
To construct a methodological document for a particular time and place
To prepare a complete plan for Disaster Management Committee and all other related
sectors (national, international, NGO, donors etc.)
To provide the participants involved in Disaster Management necessary directions for
preparing and implementing plans
To ensure and persuade the sincere participation, effective cooperation, responsibility
and sense of possession of related communities in the disaster plan

Chapter Two
Disaster, Hazard and Vulnerability

2.1 History of Disaster
Badalgachhi upazilla is one of the most vulnerable disaster prone areas. Every year, this area
gets affected by either one or another disaster. Different types of hazards including Drought,
low Water Level, Seasonal Storm, River erosion, Flood, Cold Wave, Deep Fog, Pest attack
and Low Rainfall hamper normal way of life and cause huge damage of assets. The pressure
of water descending from Indian hills flows away the banks of river Jamuna through canals
and other inland waterways. As the river is shallow, it causes drought in the dry season.
Owing to Seasonal Storm, both agricultural products and settlement get heavily damaged and
a lot of people lose shelter too. River Erosion also spoils human lives damaging agricultural
products, accommodation and infrastructure. Cold Wave and eavy Mist cause a massive
destruction for winter crops. Badalgachhi upazilla may be affected by any disaster because of
deforestation, rapid growth of population and environmental imbalance. The level of damage,
year of disasters and affected sectors are shown in a table below:

2.2 Hazards of the Upazilla

Hazard is an abnormal event which can occur due to humane cause or as a natural event.
Though Bodolgachhi is under the Borendro area it has 6 big water body and a river named
chhoto jamuna. This area has been a rough one due to its geographical position but due to
the climate change gradually it is crossing the tolerance level. The hazards that are
responsible for the suffrings and damages of the inhabitants are given below:

speed and water capacity consequently leads to river erosion. They stated that it would
further make people suffer devouring a lot more areas if this situation goes on.
5. rold Wave
Cold Wave occurs every year in Badalgachhi upazilla. It appears here so much because of
close proximity to the river Chhota Jamuna. As a result, it affects commonlives and ruins the
production of mango, lichee, pees and other winter crops.

this area. Even a few years ago, it used to rain a lot in June and July. But, it is decreasing
now. It seems like a negetive effect in the weather pattern. It makes a huge damage in
agriculture.
2.4 Vulnerability and Capability

Vulnerability refers to the prevailing materialistic, socio-economic and environmental
condition that serves as the indicator of possible loss and damage in any disaster, which
people are currently incapable of preventing.
Capability means a complete condition or process consisting of natural, social, economic and
environmental factors with which people or any organization/ institution deals with adverse
conditions of disasters through making the maximum use of its existing resources and
reduces the terrific results of disasters.

are also seen around the year. Drought starts in December and takes a ravishing look in
March and April. Again they suffer from flash flood in the time of July, August. Again their
winter crops often damage because of the cold wave from October to January. Here the
seasonal hazards are shown through a calendar:
Analysis of the Hazard calendar

These hazards take place in this area in different times but when the effects of them are most
sever is shown here in the table.
Drought: it is the prominent hazard of this area. It is seen from March to June. Thou the effect
of drought is mild in the early March and late June but in other time its impact is severe. It
causes destruction of crops, want of water, and ultimate sufferings for the people.
Flood: due to the lack of proper water drainage system and continuous siltation on the river
bed flood is occurred. Flood is seen in Bodolgachhi upzilla from the mid of June to the end
September.
Water level: going down of the water level is identified as a hazard for the local inhabitants.
Because due to the lack of water irrigation is hampered and agricultural production is
declining day by day.from May to the mid of the June the water level starts to decline and in
June July it reaches to extreme level.
Cold wave & heavy fog: though cold wave and heavy fog do not have any structural adverse
effect, agriculture and health is being affected by it every year and resulting economic
declination. Heavy Fog gives birth to road accident, health issue for the pieces, plants and
23
human. From December to sometime till the first week of February Cold Wave and heavy fog
continue.
Storm: because of the adverse effect of hostile weather every year roads, trees, agricultural
land, and infrastructure are damaged. Naturally in the monsoon and at the end of February
storm occurs.

2.13 Climate Change and Its Possible Effect

Assessing the daily weather, the result of general condition of physical factors of wind sphere
(air heat, air pressure, wind direction and speed, air humidity, amount and type of clouds and
rainfall) of a place or region (30 years or more) is the climate of that place or region. Every
day the sun reaches the earth, the earth absorbs it. Absorbed sunlight emits or reflects back to
space again. Therefore, any type of exploitation of natural laws creating obstacles or barriers
to this radiation process leads to climate change.

4.6. Finance
The income of Union Parishad arises from collecting local tax, approving lease for hat/
bazaars and canals/ swamps and approving trade licenses for business and trade. But, this
authority has been taken away from Union Parishad. As a result, its income sources have
been reduced. Nonetheless, Govt. is presently allowing Union Parishad 1% of land
registration fee that UP used to have the whole of it before. Moreover, after the salaries of
gram polices and UP secretary are paid with this money, the rest is seldom sent to UP. Very
recently, govt. has taken measures to allow 4/5 lakes taka per year directly to UP.
Income of Parishad
There must be a deposit for every Union Prishad.
(a) Local Sources (union tax, rate & fees)
Tax on yearly fiscal value of household
Tax on business, trade and profession (trade license)

Various donor organizations and non- govt. development organizations are financing directly
to UP to strengthen local govt. A better achievement depends on efficiency, sincerity and,
most importantly, good-governance of Union Parishad. UP is supposed to manage the finance
considering all the hazards and promoting those that are the major obstacles for the
development of the union. UP should prepare, finance and implement every development
project relating disaster risk reduction to it.

Description
Owing to climate change, a flood like 1988s may ruin the agricultural
products of 14746 acres of cultivable land. River erosion may cause financial
loss for 33683 families destroying sugarcane and paddy lands of 5 unions.
Drought, as occured in 2001, may ruin the agricultural products of
approximately 16454 hectors and cause severe financial damage for 43996
families. As a result of climate change, a sudden attack of seasonal storm may
destroy the agricultural products of 39063 hectors that consequently may
create financial loss for 175984 people of 43996 households. Low rainfall may
destroy agricultural products of 6978 hectors that may create a scarcity of food
in Badalgachhi upazilla. Heavy mist is also a threat that may ruin the
production of 21543 mango trees (for dropping out buds) and 2583 hectors of
cultivable lands.
Severe drought may ruin the fish cultivation in 3827 ponds that leads to
financial loss and lack of protein supply in Badalgachhi upazilla. 1543
cultivable ponds may get washed away by a flood as occured in 1988. As a
result, it is obvious to bring about a scarcity of food, nutrition and protein.
As a result of climate change, a storm like 2003s may smash down many a
tree in Badalgachhi upazilla. It is a great hamper for environmental balance.
River erusion also hampers environmental balance grasping many trees into
the river.
A flood like 1988s may creat lack of safe place for 60% pregnant women
during the flood in Badalgachhi upazilla. It may even cause death because of
vulnerable communication. Besides, different epidemic may bring out.
Drought like 2001s may cause different kinds of skin diseses and other
problems among 50% of the population of Badalgachhi upazilla.
Flood, drought, river erusion, heavy mist, low rainfall etc. seriously affect
agriculture, fisheries, livestoct and most importantly human resource. 38%
people of Badalgachhi upazilla may become workless because of these
hazards. As a result, it throws a terrible challenge towards the economic
condition of Badalgachhi upazilla.
eavy drought and low level of water may cause a horrible scarcity of water in
5 unions of Badalgachhi upazilla. As a result damage of 12344 hectors of
cultivable land may cause financial loss of almost 33683 families. Besides,
different diseases like skin disease can spread all over and agriculture,
fisheries and livestock can be severely spoiled
A sudden storm like 2003s may smash down 25% of stuctures including
academic and religious institutions, which may result in unexpected disruption
55
Sectors
Description
of education. 60% of earthen houses can be devastated by the storm that leads
to suffering and economic loss for 120806 people. A flood like 1988s may
damage almost 277.75 k.m. roads which may impede communication. In five
unions, approximately 30 kilometers road and some schools, colleges and
other structures also may be devoured by the river. 16% of earthen houses may
get submerged in water leading 33684 families to be homeless and
economically fallen.
