Bangladesh is a disaster prone country in the world. Due to Geographical disadvantage, the
environment, losing balance of power, are facing various catastrophe like inundation,
Tornados, drought, Erosion of river, earthquake, various cyclone, fogginess, white squall
and so on. Bangladesh is river mothered country. The erosion of river for over flow of water,
destroy the location of river side and all the inhabitants lose their all sort of livelihood and
livestock and took shelter being pauper in the hovel on the high land or roads. Not only that,
but also, men and industries created catastrophe become the bane for calamity and people
use to live in alarming plight. And also, by the horrific effect, all sort of assets, lives,
livelihood, livestock and other resources of the locality may fall in danger. It does not destroy
only the located people, also create obstacle for National and economical resources of the
country. Though it is a disaster prone country but long term Disaster Management plan has
not been prepared for saving the human being, their all sort of resources, livelihood, animals
and other asset, rather have been given importance to rehabilitation and on relief. Recently
Government of Bangladesh has taken an initiative on the subject Disaster Management
Planning through CDMP 2. To implement the plan in action, primarily has taken an initiative
for indication Disaster Risk through conversation with all sorts of local people, Union and
Upazila Management Committee. For Preparedness and reducing risk Disaster Management
Plan has provided to Sapahar Upazilla by indicating local disaster risks through Disaster

At the time to providing the Plan all classes of people like male, female, cultivator, landless
people, aged person, local elite persons, Union and Upazila Disaster Management Committee
Members (UzDMC) were congregated. Locally this conspicuous doings have been done by
the hard toiling of Shushilan Staffs and related analysis individuals. Disaster Management
Committee of Sapahar Upazilla under Naogaon District have provided this plan by efficacy
toiling and restless endeavor. All kinds of important heart rending calamities as, awareness
creation among family members and locality, to take preparation for facing risk would have
to use local recourses, replacement of living assets and people to a safety place, rescue
impediment people, necessary goods indication, and relief distribution have been included
in the Upazila Disaster Management Plan. If that plan come into being all kinds of
calamities would be reduce and all sorts of materials of the people would be safe. Not only
that, but also have included preparation before and after disaster, mitigation disaster by
using Local resources, social assets, safety places, indication the causes of disaster, disaster
warning sign, mostly disaster prone location, climate changes and its horrific effect,
development sectors and name of the local volunteers as well as organization.
I am giving thanks from my core of heart to those very persons who have taken part and
have given advice, like all Government and Non-Government Organizations and local
persons to perform the conspicuous act in good manner. I am confident; this Disaster
Management Plan which has prepared by the coherent cooperation of local people, Local

are also rain tree in these forests. From 1982 about one and half thousand people, livings
under poverty are getting privileged from these forests. After certain times they are earning
money selling their trees. In Sapahar uopazila 23 hundreds of social forestation have been
built here. In the meantime many jobless youth got 5 to 7 lakh money from Sapahar,
Potnitola, and Porsho.
1.4.3 Weather and Climate

The annual average rainfall of this upazilla is below 45inches. Nevertheless, this rate is
changeable. It will not be overstated if this area is called the ideal tropical monsoon area
because of extreme warm weather, excess humidity, medium rainfall and seasonal variation.
Summer starts from April and May. Then the maximum temperature remains 90 degree
Fahrenheit and the minimum temperature remains 65 degree Fahrenheit. The highest
temperature remains within April, May and the first half of June and the lowest temperature
remains within January. The average maximum temperature is 76 degrees Fahrenheit and the
minimum average temperature is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Rainfall

Temperature
At winter and summer temperature shows indifferent to the tradition. At December 1984,
when the temperature of Naogaon fell about 44.6 degrees Fahrenheit, then after a year at 16th
April 1985 the temperature rose up to 111.2 degree Fahrenheit. The average temperature is 810 Celsius in December and January, and the highest temperature prevails in April-May
when the average temperature keeps above 41 Celsius. According to Bangladesh
Meteorological department, Rajshahi, the analysis of surface Contour in Graph 1.2 shows that
the highest temperature of last 30 years remains in between 30-40 degrees. But, in the last
few years, temperature has become highest or lowest each 2-3 years later. The analysis also
shows that in the last 6 years average temperature has risen by 2 degrees due to climate
change. The bio-diversity of this upazilla will be affected if average temperature continues to
rise.

Chapter Two
Disaster and vulnerability

2.1 History of Disaster
There is no serious impact of disasters in Sapahar upazilla. However, every year the district is
no longer exposed to disasters. Low water level, floods, river erosion, cold wave, drought,
drought and north-western wide variety of endangered and cause danger to people living in
this upazilla. Water comes down from India in the rainy season as a result the flood is floated
over the union. There is the main river of the Sapahar upazilla and Joboi bill is very important
for irrigation in the upazilla. Drought is the main problem in this Sapahar upazilla, which is
less than the depth of the river. Agricultural crops and homes base culture were heavily
damaged due to water in the north-western side, and many people were starvation for long
time. River erosion is another important issue for agricultural damage, houses, life is upset.
Extensive damage to crops due to the winter cold wave and dense fog is attained. In the
Sapahar upazilla sallow water level is near the surface above 28 miters. This is a serious
problem in public life Deforestation, population growth and environmental imbalance may be
due to the disaster Sapahar upazilla. Disaster damage, loss occurs, duration and are given
below in Table.

2.2 Hazards of the Upazilla

Hazard is an unusual event, which can occur naturally or from man-made technical faults and
can damage the lives and livelihoods of human beings. Despite of being under Barindra
tracts, Sapahar upazilla has some small and big swamps and Atrai and Lottle Jamuna River
flows through it. The area was rough already due to geographical reasons but it is gradually
losing sustainability because of climate change. People are suffering because of irregular
water flow, downward water level and climate change. The hazards responsible for the
suffering are given below following the priority of damages of people:

1. Ground Water Level
As for sapahar upazilla, low ground water level is the most serious hazard that reinforces
drought and affects every sphere of human live. The common people of this area have to
maintain a constant struggle for water, the most fundamental element of life. This hazard
affects all the development sectors of sapahar. The people of sapahar upazilla believe that
immediate measures from govt. and NGO level are needed to alleviate this hazard.
13
2. Flood
sapahar upazilla is a extreamly flood prone area. Flood prevails here from June to October.
Consuquently, agriculture, fisheries, infrastructure, households, education, communication
and other sectors get heavily affected by flood. Though it happens each year, the floods in
1986,1987, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2007 were the most terrific ones.
3. Drought
bruaryDrought commonly occurs in Fe, March, April and May. The acuteness and duration of
drought are gradually increasing. t has not been rainning even in June and July for last
several years. As a result, damages are increasing because of drought. f this situation
continues, environmental disaster would appear in near future severe.
4. River erosion
River erosion is a part and parcel of people of sapahar upazilla. t is increasing day by day.
The denizens believe that low nevigavity causing a raise of water and a fall of current speed
and water capacity consequently leads to river erosion. They stated that it would further make
people suffer devouring a lot more areas if this situation goes on.
2.4 Vulnerability and Capability

Vulnerability is the possibility of a population or parts of it to be affected by hazards and the
level of possible damage to common lives and society due to the hazard. It has come into
light through field meeting and analysis of various information and data that two-third of the
population of Sapahar upazilla are vulnerable to hazards like flood, river erosion, drought and
cold wave. Moreover, animals, fisheries and infrastructures are not out of vulnerability. The
objectives of removing hazards are to identify the possibility of a hazard, when a hazard will
occur, how much area will be affected. Therefore by measuring the severity of a hazard and
vulnerability, they are trying to achieve capability by adopting their own ways.
In which area is vulnerable for which reasons are shown below:

2.5 Most Vulnerable Areas

Due to geographical location, lack of water is seen in Sapahar upazilla in dry seasons. So, all
the fields and lands dry up and all the people, fisheries, animals and infrastructure become
vulnerable. Again, farmlands and infrastructures submerge into water while water flowing
down from hills causes sudden flood. Sometimes, people living nearby riverbanks become
homeless because of river erosion. Vulnerability and causes of vulnerability are not the same
17
for everywhere of the upazilla. So, most vulnerable areas and vulnerable population based on
hazard are shown by the following table:

2.6 Main Development Sectors

Sapahar upazilla depends in agricultural production. Economy of this area depends on
agriculture. So, although importance is given on agriculture in development planning,
importance should be given on fisheries, livestock, health, livelihood and infrastructure to
reduce hazard and risk.
It is discussed by the following table:

2.7 Social Map

In context of the discussion of the Sapahar upazilla disaster management committee
members with the common people of various occupations of different villages describing the
objectives and importance of making a social map, The social map of Sapahar upazilla has
been prepared with their help. The location of unions, villages, infrastuctures, different
institutions, land use, roads, rivers, canals, wet lands, buildings, hospitals, embankments and
other important matters are included in the social map. The entire condition of this upazilla is
shown in the social map.
2.8 Hazard and Risk Map

In context of the discussion of the Sapahar upazilla disaster management committee
members with the common people of various occupations of different villages showing the
map of Sapahar upazilla and describing the objectives and importance of making a Hazard
and Risk Map, Hazard and Risk Map of Sapahar upazilla has been prepared with their help to
identify the hazards. Which hazard affects which union is shown in the map by the
participants. Moreover, land infertility, land utilization, movement of river such matters is
21

considered here through geographical information management. The entire condition of this
upazilla is also shown in the hazard and risk map.
2.9 Seasonal Calendar of Hazards

Although Sapahar upazilla is a drought prone area, different hazards are seen throughout the
year. Drought continues to grow in the month of March, but it takes the extreme form in
April. Field and lands dry up, no water remains in most of the tube well. At this tie, ground
water level is low; therefore water can be lifted only through deep tubewell. Besides, one
river runs through Sapahar upazilla. Areas and public adjacent to the river face a huge
amount of losses at any time between the months June to October in case of sudden floods.
Moreover, outbreak of cold wave and heavy mist prevails from November to February which
hampers winter crops production.
Seasonal Calendar of Hazards is presented through the following table:

Seasonal calendar of Hazards analysis:

In which months of a year hazards occur in this area and in which months the effects are
more or less are shown in the graph of the seasonal calendar. It is known through discussions
with the participants as part of the Pre-C.R:
Flood: flood generally occurs due to river filling and the lack of drainage. Rivers fill up due
to sediment accumulation in the riverbed and rising of chars which causes excess water
pressure to overflow and cause flood. Sapahar upazilla is flood prone from mid-July to the
end of September.
Drought: Drought is the main hazard of this area. The presence of drought is seen from midMarch to mid-June. Excessive drought causes extensive damage to agriculture here. Though
24
the effects of drought are moderate in early March and late June, but effects are somewhat
lower during the rest of the year. Many of the crops are lost due to lack of irrigation as the
effect of drought. Again, the production of crops which are getting irrigation is reduced due
to lack of sufficient water. Again, water of stored pond dries up due to drought which leads to
extreme shortages of drinking water.
River Erosion: homes, roads, crops, livestock and aosial and educational institution of
Sapahar upazilla are disappearing every year because of river erosion. River erosion is not
manifest From April to July here, but River erosion takes extreme form during early August
to mid-September.
Cold Wave: Cold Wave occurs every year in Sapahar upazilla. t appears here so much
because of close proximity to the river Chhota Jamuna. As a result, it affects common lives
and ruins the production of mango, lichee, pees and other winter crops.
Hill Rain: According to the denizens of Sapahar upazilla, a drastic change in rainfall is
observed in this area. Hail rain occurs quite frequently. t seems like a negetive effect in the
weather pattern. t makes a huge damage in agriculture.

Although this upazilla is dominated by agriculture, but fishing is also an income source here
as some big and small canals are here. Besides, there are landless workers who earn their
living as day laborers. As there are quite a few hats and bazars, the trader professions have
arisen for exporting huge amount of agricultural products.
Seasonal Calendar of livelihood is presented through the following table:

2.11 Vulnerability on Life and Livelihood

Pre-discussed hazards and disasters hamper the normal lifestyle. Farmers, fishermen, day
laborers, businessmen all become vulnerable.

2.12 Sector-wise Risks and Hazards

The vulnerable sectors of Sapahar upazilla are crops, plants, livestock, fisheries, homes,
roads, bridges, culverts, educational institutions, health care and shelter. The sectors are
endangered because of the pre-discussed hazards. After performing hazard identification of
each union and its corresponding vulnerable sector, elements and area selection, the list of
risks have been prepared and written. Two representatives from each of the groups (farmers,
landless, women and fishing) has been selected and divided into four groups. Risks have been
given priority by voting on unacceptable risks (voting through Zipstick) after evaluating the
risks described separately by each groups consisting of 6 members with a total of 24
representatives. The possible ways of reducing the risk to the local level including risk
analysis has been set from the list of risks obtained by incorporating the highest risks voted
by four groups. Following are the preferred risks. These risks have been validated later by the
indirect stakeholders at the presence of the representatives of the group. The following table
identifies vulnerable sectors of Sapahar upazilla:

2.13 Climate Change and Its Possible Effect

Assessing the daily weather, the result of general condition of physical factors of wind sphere
(air heat, air pressure, wind direction and speed, air humidity, amount and type of clouds and
rainfall) of a place or region (30 years or more) is the climate of that place or region. Every
day the sun reaches the earth, the earth absorbs it. Absorbed sunlight emits or reflects back to
space again. Therefore, any type of exploitation of natural laws creating obstacles or barriers
to this radiation process leads to climate change.
Some sectors which are affected by climate change are described in detail below:
Table 2.10: Sector Related Climate Change and Impact
Description
Sectors
Agriculture
Flood-like climate change in 1988, when the district Sapahar 13260 hectares
of arable land under crops may be a large number of people could be in
danger. 6 to 48 square kilometers of land due to erosion union crops may
suffer many families economically. Like 001 of the 13945 hectares of crops
could be fierce drought, many families may suffer economically. Glossary of
Meteorology climate change districts Sapahar suddenly attack people in
14230 hectares of crops ruined many families may suffer economically.
15680 hectares of land in crop losses due to drought, causing crop districts
Benchmark Sapahar may occur. Ghanakuyasara due amasaha (buds due to the
storm) 7725 hectare orchard and other crops could be lost.
Fisheries
Severe drought in 850 districts Sapahar aquaculture fish pond can cause
damage and can lead to financial loss. This may be causing the lack of meat.
Districts, like the flood of 1988, when 470 Sapahar Fish Ponds can be flooded
and washed away. The food, nutrition and protein deficiency can occur.
Plants
In 003 districts, like climate change Sapahar storm collapsed the plants may
be abundant. Protect the environmental balance could be upset. The most
abundant vegetation in the river due to erosion caused unions may be 4. This
may disrupt the balance of the environment.

Health
Description
Approximately 60% of the fires, like districts Sapahar 1988 pregnant women

pranahanira threatened to endangered. The outbreak of water borne diseases
can occur. Approximately 65% of the 001 districts, the people like the
drought of the skin may occur Sapahar. The health of a variety of diseases
can occur due to drought.
Livelihood

a tremendous impact on the livelihoods of fisheries resource in the lives of
people and livestock ksatigrastasaha. All you out at 38% of people under the
Sapahar karmasunya can become. This may be caused by the severity of the
economy under Sapahar.

crops may be lost as a result, many families may suffer economically. The
severity of the disease can be spread in a variety of carmarogasaha and
krsisampada, fisheries resource and livestock may be affected.
Infrastructure In 003, when a sudden storm like climate change and religious institutions in
about 35% of the education infrastructure could face losses, which may
disrupt education. A large number of mud homes have been destroyed in the
attack of the storm 80% could be economically ksatigrasthasaha shelter. If
1988 is about 27575 km beyond the flood damage and may be impassable.
Which may impede communication. 4 Approximately 65 km of erosion union
roads, schools, colleges and other infrastructure can be erosion. 6% of the
submerged mud homes could be a lot of people in the household
economically ksatigrasthasaha shelter.

3.3 Development plan of NGOs

Danger due to the slow speed of districts identified Sapahar disaster mitigation measures are seen to neglect. Recently, it has increased disasters
due to climate change, but the trend. Some NGOs have started to work on the disaster, which is very scarce compared to the needs.

Finance .6 .4
The income of Union Parishad arises from collecting local tax, approving lease for hat/
bazaars and canals/ swamps and approving trade licenses for business and trade. But, this
authority has been taken away from Union Parishad. As a result, its income sources have
been reduced. Nonetheless, Govt. is presently allowing Union Parishad 1% of land
registration fee that UP used to have the whole of it before. Moreover, after the salaries of
gram polices and UP secretary are paid with this money, the rest is seldom sent to UP. Very
recently, govt. has taken measures to allow 4/5 lakes taka per year directly to UP.
ncome of Parishad
There must be a deposit for every dnion Prishad.

Various donor organizations and non- govt. development organizations are financing directly
to UP to strengthen local govt. A better achievement depends on efficiency, sincerity and,
most importantly, good-governance of Union Parishad. UP is supposed to manage the finance
considering all the hazards and promoting those that are the major obstacles for the
development of the union. UP should prepare, finance and implement every development
project relating disaster risk reduction to it.
