Some Major Disasters of Our Country

Every bad actions will result to a worst consequences. Everyone of us is obliged to take care our own country. And in every country, there are different types of natural disasters. In today's article, I will share what are those major natural disasters that mostly happen in our country.

Natural disasters are accidents or disasters that occur as part of a natural order, without any direct human involvement. Bangladesh is at risk of various types of natural disasters due to its geographical location, added by those who prefer to do the practices that they can benefits without thinking the risks that it can give to the nature. Each year, a variety of natural disasters strike this area. Here are following disasters;

River's Erosion: In the heart of riverine Bangladesh, many rivers, both large or tributary; the river's religion is to shatter one bank and build another. At this time, it is unknown what he will do after leaving the position. The dwellings of those who live along the river's banks, as well as their belongings, are lost in the water. People are living as refugees in the aftermath of the disaster, and they have been without an address for some time.

Floods: Due to heavy rains and steep slopes, river water levels rise. As a result, floods occurred in different parts of Bangladesh. In flood prone areas normal human life is disrupted and crops are damaged. The floods destroyed houses and roads in the town. Many domestic animals die. The floods of 1955 and 1974 severely damaged almost all parts of Bangladesh. The horrors of the floods of 1970 and 1974 are still etched in people's minds. The floods of 1986 captured the people of the whole country including the capital Dhaka. The 1998 floods were also chronic. At this time, millions of distressed people have been living in waterlogged conditions for five months.

Cyclones and tidal surges: During April-May and October-November of the year, various types of cyclones, big and small, hit Bangladesh. Cyclones have very strong winds, and this sometimes causes tidal surges in the sea. Such disasters hit the coastal areas and islands of Chittagong, Cox's Bazar, Noakhali, Barisal, Khulna etc almost every year. Its brutal blows killed thousands of people. Millions of people are homeless. Endangered human, cosmic, and biodiversity; which affect the lives of locals. People fall into indescribable misery. Lands in flood prone areas become uncultivable due to salinity.

Agricultural production is severely disrupted due to crop failure. In 1980, a severe cyclone and tidal wave in the Meghna estuary killed about three lakh people. One and a half lakh people died in 1991 due to severe cyclones and tidal waves that swept through the coastal areas of Bangladesh. Cyclone Sidr hit the southwestern part of the country in 2006. Cyclone Aila in 2009 caused extensive damage. The Sundarbans, one of the world's natural heritage sites, was severely damaged by the two cyclones. The effects of these cyclones also caused irreparable damage to the interior of the country.

Earthquakes: Like other disasters, earthquakes also hit Bangladesh occasionally. When the magnitude of the earthquake increased, houses and roads collapsed. The communication system deteriorated. There have been no severe earthquakes in Bangladesh in the last 100 years. However, due to unplanned urbanization, any big city including Dhaka-Chittagong may face severe losses.

To end this, I would like to remind all of us to always include the safety of our environment in our prayers, and also we as a human to be aware in our actions, because it's us who take more benefits in nature, we should learn how to take care and avoid some factors that can give harm effect. Although it is natural disaster, the common reason behind it was still human activities.
