INTRODUCTION: Bangladesh
has a long history of natural disasters. The geographical location, land
characteristics, multiplicity of rivers and the monsoon climate render
Bangladesh highly vulnerable to natural hazards. The coastal morphology of
Bangladesh influences the impact of natural hazards on the area. Bangladesh
suffers from floods, cyclones, thunder shower, cold wave, storm surge, river
bank erosion, earthquake, landslide, drought, heavy rain, salinity intrusion,
fire and tsunami. All the disasters cause massive damages.
M22 Doctors’ Foundation aims to stand beside the victims of various natural disasters in the following ways:

Barind Tract covers most parts of the greater Dinajpur, Rangpur, Pabna, Rajshahi, Bogra, Joypurhat, and Naogaon. Rainfall is comparatively less in Barind Tract than in the other parts of the country.
PALM TREE PROJECTS in THUNDER PRONE RURAL AREAS
Every year hundreds of people in Bangladesh are killed by lightning, more than by floods or Cyclones. As the climate warms, lightning strikes are happening more frequently – but palm trees help keep people safe. M22 Doctors’ Foundation intends to implement PALM TEREE PROJECTS in Thunder storm prone areas in collaboration with relevant organizations.
