Description:

Bangladesh Red Crescent Society recently commissioned Geo Planning for Advanced Development (GPAD) to conduct a study on the community and school disaster readiness assessment. The study aims to promote better understanding and analysis in terms of community and school preparedness towards natural hazardous events and disasters. This will be accomplished through examining community-level preparedness in four key areas, namely self-organization, ability to take action, knowledge and awareness, and connectivity.

The purpose of the assessment is to enable identification and understanding of the level of preparedness of communities for natural hazards, specifically in terms of their self-organization, ability to take action, knowledge and awareness, and connectivity. The study will take place in and around Bagerhat (Sarankhola sub-district), Khulna (Paikgachha subdistrict), and Patuakhali (Kalapara sub-district).

The studies will utilize qualitative and quantitative approaches, adapted to the local context, and will directly benefit organizations like the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS), Cyclone Preparedness Programme (CPP), IFRC, American Red Cross, Movement Partners, and Donors.

Duration: January to March 2023
