    Bangladesh experiences several natural calamities including floods, cyclones, tornadoes, droughts, earthquakes, and landslides. Major floods occurred in 1988, 1998, 2004, and 2007. Cyclones such as Bhola and Sidr primarily impacted coastal areas. An earthquake in 1997 struck Chittagong. Droughts in the 1970s and 1990s affected many areas. Between 2009-2014, natural disasters impacted over 43 million households and caused over $2.8 billion in damages. The government is taking steps to mitigate effects through afforestation, building barriers, dredging rivers, and raising public awareness. However, human activities are exacerbating climate change and worsening the impact of natural disasters.
