The coastal region of Bangladesh is already perspiring with different types of natural disasters. Bangladesh is situated at the interface of two contrasting settings with the Bay of Bengal and the North Indian Ocean to the south and the Himalayas to the north. This gives the country the life giving monsoons, on one hand, and the catastrophic disasters like tropical cyclones, storm surges, floods, droughts and erosion, on the other.
