About the Cover

One of the most devastating climatic hazard ‘cyclone’ hit coastal zone of Bangladesh more or less every two to three years; damaging physical infrastructure, loss of life and livelihood, property damage, disruption of social system, economy loss. Nisanbaria union of Taltoliupazila under Barguna district is adjacent to Bay of Bengal that’s why during any kind of depression into the sea will hit this coastal area in a medium or large scale. This study focuses on assessment of cyclone vulnerability by analyzing community present situation and to assess the coping strategies by analyzing their past experience. For conducting this research both primary and secondary data are collected to fulfil the objectives. Factors that increase the vulnerability of local community includes location, economic condition, house pattern, lack of road connectivity, insufficient cyclone shelter, dependency ratio, lack of awareness etc. The coping strategies includes taking shelter in safe place, livelihood diversification, using indigenous knowledge in cyclone warning, getting relief from local GOs and NGOs etc. The GOs and NGOs should take action for reducing the vulnerability like construction of new cyclone shelter, improved road connectivity, construction of embankment, giving priority of peoples indigenous practice, raising awareness of local community to cope with the cyclone.
