How does the government of Bangladesh manage flood risks and mitigation efforts?
What should be the goals of disaster mitigation in Bangladesh?
(a) Bringing a paradigm shift in disaster management from conventional response and relief practice to a more comprehensive risk reduction culture; and and (b) Strengthening the capacity of the
Bangladesh disaster management system in improving the response and recovery
management at all levels. Thus the aim was to build resilience through improved disaster risk
reduction policies and practices, and at the same time maintain and improve capacity for
disaster response and recovery as part of the humanitarian mandate of MoDMR.
