Bangladesh flood drill
Transcript
Mock Drill (flood). An activity of the project Disaster Inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction.
Disasters are regular events in Bangladesh. People living with poverty are more affected than
others. The barriers and challenges are even more for persons with disabilities.
With every disaster and its destructions the people are pulled down from the
development progress it has made, making them more vulnerable to future disasters.
Flood is very common in the country, especially
in the project district of Gaibandha.
Since October 2009, CDD in association with GUK and the support of CBM is implementing
this project that builds on local capacity for disability inclusive disaster risk reduction.
The results attained thus far is encouraging. it has reinforced our belief that if community capacities can
be built, community ownership can be raised, if effective networking among different stakeholders can be ensured
and most importantly if meaningful and positive participation of persons with disabilities is made possible at all
stages, then inclusive development will be realised and sustained. This project is progressing towards that destination.

commitment towards a disability inclusive disaster risk reduction.
