Abstract

Flooding is a recurring and devastating natural disaster in Bangladesh, with significant flood events occurring regularly. The country has implemented various measures to combat these floods, including warning systems, storm shelters, and protective walls. However, the escalating threats of floods, salinization, and waterlogging pose dire risks to the coastal region and its inhabitants. Climate change exacerbates these risks, leading to increased financial and humanitarian costs. The government of Bangladesh has recognized the need for disaster management and flood management strategies, but there are critiques regarding its response to these challenges. Collaboration between policymakers, government agencies, and international organizations is crucial to finding solutions to the flooding crisis. [Extracted from the article]
