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. 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 Naogaon 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.

In this document, the first to third chapter is descript the social, economic, natural and

infrastructure description of outlines the underlying causes and potential effects of climate

change of the Naogaon, different adaptation strategies to increase the capacity in disaster

management and prevention of the details and the ability to attain a 3-5 year brief outline a plan

of action. In the fourth and fifth chapters is descripted the disaster risk reduction improving by

the implementation of disaster management plan through development workers, social and

political activities and ordinary people to increase participation in disaster management capacity

and to achieve resistance in the outline. The poor are affected by the adverse effects of disaster,

so this document is very important for poor people. Public Safety and the economic development

are continuing process of a country, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief

'Comprehensive Disaster Management Programme (CDMP) as a part of disaster risk

preparedness plan for the local population, designing a versatile content for disaster

management. The district level disaster management programe is very fruitful for climate

change, future vulnerability and socio-economic development, education, health, housing and

other infrastructure development and implementation of a developing country.

2.2 Hazards of the Naogaon

Hazard is an abnormal event which can occur due to humane cause or as a natural event. Though

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:

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.

2.5 Most Vulnerable Areas

Because of the geographical position scarcity of water is seen in the dry season in Naogaon As a

result, fields become dead dry and the inhabitants, animals, fish and infrastructure become the

victim of it. On the other hand flash flood came from the hill washes away cultivable lands, trees,

2.6 Main Development Sectors Dhamoirhat upazilla depends in agricultural production. Economy of this area depends on

agriculture. So, although importance is given on agriculture in development planning,

importance should be given on fisheries, livestock, health, livelihood and infrastructure to reduce

hazard and risk.

It is discussed by the following table:

Table 2.5: Combination with Development Sector and Disaster Risk Reduction

Main

Sectors

Agriculture

In Naogaon District, 172824 metric tons

of crops are produced in total 30350

hectares of land. Meeting the local

demand, Mahadevpur has a surplus of

125616 metric tons which brought great

success for the economy of this area. As

a result of new initiatives in agriculture,

farmers will come forward in cultivation.

So in Naogaon District, agriculture is

considered as one of the main sectors of

development plan.

In Naogaon District, 75% of people

are involved in agriculture (30% day-

laborers, 25 % petite farmers, 15%

middle class farmers and 5% are

affluent farmers). A change in

climate causing drought, heavy

rainfall, hail storm, cold wave, heavy

mist and flood may cause severe

financial loss damaging agricultural

products. So, more modification and

advancement is needed in agricultural

sector to cope up with disaster risk

22

Main

Sectors

reduction.

Fisheries

There is a total of 1997.08 acres of

ponds, canals, wet lands, rivers and

swamps for fish production that helps

people achieve financial success as well

as livelihood. As a result, many people

will be interested in fish cultivation that

can bring huge progress in this upazilla.

So in Mahadevpur Upazila, fisheries can

be considered as one of the main sectors

of development plans.

A change in climate causing heavy

rainfall and flood may harm

agriculture severely. In that case,

fisheries can serve with instant

financial safety and solvency. So, fish

cultivation is effective in disaster risk

reduction.

Livestock

20-25 years ago, almost every family

used to have cattle in Naogaon District.

Currently, because of lack of cow-food

and pasture lands, livestock has

decreased considerably. At present, there

are 23 cattle farms, 38 broiler chicken

farms and 30 duck farms, which make

people self-reliant and contribute to the

economy of this area.

A change in climate causing heavy

rainfall and flood may harm fisheries

and agriculture severely. In that case,

livestock can serve with instant

financial safety and solvency. So,

rearing livestock is effective in

disaster risk reduction.

Health

There are an upazilla health complex, 5

health sub-centers, 4 upazilla health and

family welfare center and 33 community

clinics. These institutions help continue

the usual activities of people of Naogaon

District ensuring health services.

Livelihood

In Naogaon District, 75 % of people are

involved in agriculture (30% day-

laborers, 25 % petite farmers, 15%

middle class farmers and 5% are affluent

farmers). Among the people involved in

other sectors, there are 2.52% in non-

agricutural labour, 0.86% industry,

8.01% trade, 2.91% transport and

communication, 0.09% religious service,

0.07% remittance and 3.25% others.

There are also 10% jobholders.

In Naogaon District, financial condition

is quite prosperous because of varied

livelihoods. Most of the people are

reliable because they are mostly engaged

in any kind of dependable profession.

Therefore lives of people of Mahadevpur

go on improving.

When disasters like flood, drought,

river erosion, heavy rainfall, low

rainfall etc. occur in Mahadevpur

Upazila, livelihood of common

people gets affected by seriously

damaged agriculture, fisheries and

livestock. But, if people mange to

alternative occupations, immediate

recovery from disasters can be

possible. It also help keep solvency in

disaster period. So, alternative

livelihood is effective in disaster risk

reduction.

23

Main

Sectors

Plantation

Mahadevpur upazila has considerable

reputation for mango cultivation. In this

Upazila, there are many mango farms

that keep this region filled with greenery.

There are plenty of akashmoni, mango,

rain-tree, water apple, eucalyptus, arjun,

akasiya, babla and plum trees. According

to official record, in Mahadevpur, there

are 10 hectares of plantation that plays a

special role in the economy of this area.

Agriculture, fisheries, livestock are

seriously damaged when disasters

like flood, drought, river erosion,

heavy rainfall, low rainfall etc. occur

in Mahadevpur Upazila. Apart from

this, many houses, roads and other

structures are smashed in storms,

which affect lives and livelihoods of

people as well as environment.

Plantation has no alternative to

prevent this. So a movement with a

disaster risk reduction.

Infrastructure

In Naogaon District, there are plenty of

structural assets including 42.68 km.

dam, 24 bridges and 549 culverts, an

overall total of 658.18 km. of upazila,

union and village roads and currently

516 deep tubewells and 11510 tubewells

for irrigation purpose. There are also 21

hats/ bazaars meeting the needs of

people by providing the basic necessities

of goods. These assets of this area play

leading role in economics as well as

development activities in Mahadevpur.

When disasters like floods, droughts,

river erosion and heavy rainfall

happen in Naogaon District, a variety

of structural assets helps in many

ways. The dams located on the banks

of the river Jamuna protect the

upazilla from river erosion. During

floods and heavy rainfall, the culverts

are used for communication and

water supply. It also would benefit a

lot in agriculture. The tubewells are

used for water supply in irrigation

during drought and thus help produce

agricultural products. Roads connect

different areas and develop

communication. Bazaars are also

essential for the people during

disasters providing their necessary

elements. Infrastructural resources

play important role in coping with the

disasters. So there is no alternative

but strengthening infrastructural

resource to reduce risks of disasters. Source: field Visit, Naogaon, 2014
