Disaster risk governance for district-level landslide risk management in Bangladesh
The Government of Bangladesh has been successful in reducing death rates from tropical cyclones . However, in recent years, landslides have been a significant hazard, especially in the south-eastern part of Bangladesh. For example, the landslides of 2017 killed 110 people in Rangamati district. These deaths have raised an important question: whether district disaster risk governance at the local level is effective enough to mitigate the impact of…
RHCC intervention
Purpose The quality and availability of sexual and reproductive health care are key determinants to reducing maternal mortalities and morbidities in disaster settings; yet, these services are often lacking in developing countries. Reducing maternal mortality and morbidity is currently the main targets of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3. The purpose of this study was to develop an intervention package called RHCC (Reproductive Health…
Disasters, deaths and the Sendai Framework’s target one
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to theoretically propose a complex perspective as the third way to understand disasters which is used to describe the Hiroshima landslide disaster 2014 in Japan. In the first half of the paper the complex perspective is explained in detail with comparison to two conventional perspectives on disasters, i.e. hazard approach and vulnerability approach. According to the complex perspective, deaths in disasters are…

Everyday health security practices as disaster resilience in rural Bangladesh
Health security is a relatively new concept in terms of how it is practised in disaster-prone locales. We observed 10 rural households in Bangladesh for four months using informal interviews, field diaries, and observation. The findings suggest that the everyday practises of health security involve the capabilities of “caring for themselves” in resource-constrained contexts. Understanding how households care for themselves prior to and during dis…
Indigenous indicators of health security in relation to climatic disasters in Bangladesh
Health is a core aspect of human security. Meanwhile human security is considered to reduce disaster risk. However, despite this logically derived association, we could find no studies that provide evidence of how people residing in the world's most environmentally at risk locations view health as a defence against disasters. This article therefore draws on findings from our research showing how people at risk of major climatic events in Banglade…

The role of microcredit in reducing women's vulnerabilities to multiple disasters
This article explores the relationship between microcredit and vulnerability reduction for women-headed households in 'multiple disasters'. Here multiple disasters are understood as disasters that occur in one specific place and cause severe devastation. The case study covers the super-cyclone in 1999, floods in 2001 and 2003, and drought in 2002 in Orissa, India. The study entailed eight months fieldwork and interviews with several governmental …
The influence of caste, class and gender in surviving multiple disasters
Sociological and anthropological studies in India reveal that caste, class and gender in everyday life are both rigid and dynamic, but little is known about how they influence the survival mechanisms of women during ‘multiple disasters’, nor about how women negotiate with these structural mores to meet their cultural and biological needs. This is explored through the experiences of 12 women-headed households from different social castes in Orissa…
Multiple disasters and policy responses in pre‐ and post‐independence Orissa, India
Multiple disasters’ or disasters that occur in ‘one specific place’ are regular events in coastal parts of the state of Orissa in eastern India. Yet the policy framework for addressing multiple disasters is weak. This paper aims to show that policy responses in pre‐ and post‐independence Orissa have overlooked the effects of multiple disasters. Evidence based on a review of the literature and onfieldwork indicates that Orissa has a long history o…
Environmental Disasters and Disastrous Policies
Though disasters have been important recurring events in South Asia, the policy framework for addressing the issues arising from disaster has been weak. Taking an alternative perspective on the definition of disaster itself, this article attempts to address the cause of the increasing numbers of disasters in India. I posit that the nation‐state still understands disasters as a natural phenomenon, rather than as an intersection between conditions …
