Disaster Ready Community to Combat Climate Change

Under the proposed project we would like to create Sundarbans Disaster Ready Community through expanding our developed climate resilience model village among the whole Sundarbans region (five sub-districts under three districts). This model includes:

 

 	
Skill development on DRR
 	
Cyclone shelter management and sustainable livelihoods
 	
Technologies like Designing of Climate Adaptive House and embankment protection
 	
Use of Apps for disaster signalling, etc.

We will engage different stakeholders (Government departments, NGOs, Civil Society Members, etc.) and building linkage with government and NGOs existing DRR program for scaling up and out of our DRR program.

For achieving this target we would like to conduct capacity/leadership building training among Union Disaster Management Committee members from Unions of five sub-districts under three districts adjacent to the Sundarbans coastal region, Local NGO workers, students from Schools by using our existing facilities, experience and involving technical experts.

We would like to make a disaster information hub, establish climate change adaptation center by improving the capacity of the existing Cyclone Shelter and Training Center and to develop a disaster signalling Apps.

We would also like to improve road facilities, rain water harvesting plant for drinking water and irrigation, solar station for enlighten the center, more sustainable livelihoods, children sponsorship program, etc.
