Activities Related to Disaster Management for Earthquake In Bangladesh I. ABSTRACT Ms. Suraiya Begum & Md. Shah Alam, Principal Scientific Officer, Bangladesh Space Research & Remote Sensing Organization (SPARRSO) & Prof. Dr. Mehedi Ahmed Ansari, Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology (BUET) Earthquakes are related to faulting and tectonic instability of an area. Lying in the confluence of India –Burme-Eurishya plate; Bangladesh is extremely prone to earthquake . A strong earthquake affecting the major cities like Dhaka, Sylhet, Chittagong, may result in severe damage and long term consequences for the entire country. Different organizations like Ministry of Disaster Management & Relief (MDMR), Disaster Management Bureau (DMB), National Center for Earthquake Eng.(NCEE), Bangladesh Meteorological Dept.(BMD),Bangladesh University of Eng. & Technology (BUET), University of Dhaka(DU), Chittagong University of Eng. & Technology etc. play a major role in earthquake risk mitigation to help the economic planning and Sustainable development of the country. In this paper, a brief summary of activities related to earthquake undertaken in Bangladesh have been presented. Key words: Awareness, Disaster Management, Hazards, Mitigation II. INTRODUCTION Bangladesh has an alluvial deltaic land with Himalayas on its north and Bay of Bengal on its south. It is located between 20.35° N to 26.75°N Lat and 88.03° E to 92.75° E Lon. It has an area of about 1, 47,570 sq,km with population more than 140 million . Most of its area is relatively flat lying in the deltaic plain of the Ganges-Brahmaputra- Meghna river system. Due to its geographic location and population density, it experiences diff. types of natural disasters which cause losses to lives and properties every year. Earthquake is the worst of them. The overall tectonics of Bangladesh and adjoining region is convective for frequent and recurring earthquakes. The geo-tectonic setting of the country is seismically very active. The adverse impact of all natural and man-made disasters needs to be reduced for sustainable development of the country. Consequently, it is needed to prepare against all possible disasters. III. EARTHUAKE ZONES OF BANGLADESH Bangladesh is divided into 3 earthquake zones : • Zone – 1: the less risky zone (includes Jessore , Khulna , Barisal and Noakhali Dist .) • Zone – 2 : medium vulnerable zone (includes Dhaka ,Chittagong ,Rajshahi, Dinajpur and Bogra Dist • Zone – 3 : the most vulnerable zone ( includes Sylhet ,Mymensingh and Rangpur Districts. Fig-3 shows the zones.(Source: Ansary,2005) IV. EARTHQUAKE AFFECTING IN BANGLADESH Bangladesh is a part of Bengal basin which is one of the most seismically active zone of Asian countries. It experienced some of worst earthquakes in the past which causes damage to cities of www.theinternationaljournal.org > RJSITM: Volume: 02, Number: 02, December-2012 Page 9
