INTRODUCTION
Bangladesh often suffers from many climate induced disasters such as flood,
drought, and cyclone. Among those natural hazards, cyclone is a tropical storm or
atmospheric instability involving circular motion of winds, occurs in Bangladesh
almost every year. About one tenth of the global tropical cyclone occurs in the Bay
of Bengal. The name SIDR was contributed by Oman; it is an Arabic name of a
tree belonging to the genus Ziziphus, specifically the Ziziphus spina-christi. There
is another saying that it is derived from the Sinhalese Language where "SIDR"
means 'hole' or 'eye.
On the morning of November 15, the cyclone intensified to reach peak winds of
215 km/h (135 mph) according to the IMD, and a peak of 250 km/h (155 mph)
according to the JTWC. SIDR officially made landfall around 1700 UTC later that
day, with sustained winds of 215 km/h (135 mph). It weakened quickly after
landfall and the final advisories were issued early on November 16.The damage in
Bangladesh was extensive, including tin shacks flattened, houses and schools
blown away and enormous tree damage.
Some local officials have described the damage as being even worse than that
from the 1991 cyclone. At least 3,447 deaths have been reported. The entire cities
of Patuakhali, Barguna and Jhalokati District were hit hard by the storm surge of
over 5 meters (16 ft). About a quarter of the world heritage site Sunderbans were
damaged. Researchers said mangrove forest Sunderban will take at least 40 years
to recover itself from this catastrophe. Electricity and water service were cut and
significant damage was reported there due to winds and flooding. The local
agricultural industry was also devastated, as many rice crops - which have a
December harvest - were lost. Initial assessment of damage is come close to $450
million.
Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal Because of the funnel shaped coast of the Bay of
Bengal, Bangladesh very often becomes the landing ground of cyclones formed in
the Bay of Bengal. The Bay cyclones also move towards the eastern coast of India,
towards Myanmar and occasionally into Sri Lanka. But they cause the maximum
damage when they come into Bangladesh, west Bengal and Orissa of India.
This is because of the low flat terrain, high density of population and poorly built
houses. Most of the damage occurs in the coastal regions of Khulna, Patuakhali,
Barisal, Noakhali and Chittagong and the offshore islands of Bhola, Hatiya,
Sandwip, Manpura, Kutubdia, Maheshkhali, Nijhum Dwip, Urir Char and other
newly formed islands. From 1981 to 1985, 174 severe cyclones (with wind speeds
of more than 54 km/hr) formed in the Bay of Bengal. The month-wise occurrence
is as follows: 1 in January, 1 in February, 1 in March, 9 in April, 32 in May, 6 in
June, 8 in July, 4 in August, 14 in September, 31 in October, 47 in November and
20 in December.
2.2.1 Introduction
Cyclone SIDR is the fourth named storm of the 2007 North Indian Ocean cyclone
season. The storm formed in the central Bay of Bengal, and quickly
On November 15, 2007, the SIDR cyclone hit the coast of south-west Bangladesh
with winds of up to 240 km per hour. Since then, more than 8.9 million people had
been directly affected by the cyclone which caused extensive damages to houses,
water and sanitation infrastructures, harvests, food stocks and livelihoods,
alsokilling livestock and destroying fishing material and other income generating
assets. Cyclone Sidr and two preceding floods resulted in at least 4,400 deaths
disrupting the lives of millions of people in some of the poorest and most
vulnerable areas of the country.
Damaged roads made access to the affected areas almost impossible, and with the
communications and utility services yet to be restored fully, aid workers and
rescuers struggled to reach survivors in most of the affected areas. The
government deployed naval ships, aircraft, and helicopters to reinforce the rescue
and relief operation.
Thousands of trained volunteers were active in the situation. Some 200,000 people
living in the coastal zone were evacuated to safer places such as cyclone shelters,
high-rise buildings and public and private houses.
Over 70,000 families (approximate 350,000 people) have been assisted with relief
food and non-food items; the distribution of oral rehydration salts (ORS) packets
and health education (with special focus on usage of ORS). Please note that
interim financial report reflects income up to end March 2007. Click here to access
the live donors’ response list and, hygiene practices in all 13 districts is completed.
A post-relief distribution assessment will be carried out to evaluate further needs
for relief intervention and monitoring the impact of the relief items distributed so
far. This will be done as a complement during the transition to recovery phase,
while affected community are struggling to restore their usual livelihood practices.
However, the operation is fully focused on early recovery activities.

Implementation of the shelter project has taken place. Priority will be given to
increasing the human resource capacity of the shelter team, selecting communities
to work with and assessing shelter needs within and finalizing beneficiary lists.
Priority will be given to the selection of communities, an assessment of shelter
needs and the finalization of beneficiary lists. A main priority includes increasing
the human resources’ capacity of the Shelter team.
External linkages with main stakeholders have been initiated, mostly in the area of
agriculture and livelihoods with United Nations agencies such as the International
Labor Organization (ILO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) who
are leading the livelihood and agriculture national working groups, as well as
major donors such as the Swiss development cooperation. Information on cash
transfer and selection have been shared and integrated in the BDRCS/IFRC
strategy. Progress has been achieved towards the implementation of the water and
sanitation project. During this reporting period, the main focus has been on
providing the community access to clean water. Field surveys have identified over
136 community-based water systems (arsenic-free tube wells) that require
maintenance. Contractors have been selected and work has commenced in
Patuakhali, Bagerhat and Pirojpur to restore all water systems.
With the arrival of the psychosocial support program (PSP) delegate various
meetings has been held at the field level on the implementation of the psychosocial
support activities in the communities. A draft program proposal and budget in
collaboration with BDRCS have been made which is pending finalization and
approval. Since the launch of the Appeal, international response has been positive.
However, there is still a need for further contributions to enable
BDRCS/Federation to deliver the planned assistance as laid out in this Appeal. We
would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have contributed or
pledged to this Appeal.
IMPACT OF SIDR
AFTERMATH
After the storm, five Bangladesh Navy ships were immediately dispatched with
food, medicine, and relief supplies for the hardest-hit areas. Saudi Arabia also
donated US$100 million to the relief effort as the country's largest relief sum ever.
The European Commission also released €1.5 million (US$2.4 million) in
emergency relief to Bangladesh. The United States, through the U.S. Agency for
International Development, has pledged more than US$14.4 million in emergency
assistance, including more than US$10 million in food assistance from the U.S.
Food for Peace program.

The United States Navy also released over 3,500 Marines aboard USS Kearsarge
and USS Wasp (located in the Gulf of Oman) and USS Tarawa (located in Hawaii)
to aid in the recovery efforts. Other agencies quickly followed in providing aid.
World Vision released volunteers to help house more than 20,000 people left
homeless. The Red Cross also brought a significant presence, while assessments of
the damage were underway. Bangladesh Red Crescent Society initially asked 400
million Bangladeshi Taka to the international community. People of the cyclone
affected area are having severe health problems as diseases like diarrhea spread
due to shortage of drinking water. The landfall of SIDR had followed the
devastation caused by consecutive floods earlier in 2007.

Our report shows the some important issue about the impact of SIDR on the
people of the southern part of Bangladesh like Patuakhali district. In its first part it
shows us socio-economic factors of the SIDR affected people of Kalapara upazilla
in Patuakhali district. It also shows the changes in socio-economic conditions of
the SIDR affected people, which are very important for deeming about the present
situation of those affected people. It also important for indentify the socio-
economic background of people.
Cyclones are usually formed in the deep seas and hence their study has been very
difficult. It is only with the advent of the Space age that weather satellites have
provided valuable information about them. Direct studies of cyclones with aircraft
reconnaissance are also being carried out by advanced countries.
The cyclone of 29 April 1991 hit Chittagong, Cox's Bazaar, Barisal, Noakhali,
Patuakhali, Barguna and Khulna along with a tidal bore (6.1m to 7.6m), killing
140,000 people.
Mansurul Amin, 2008, 19 May, Title: “Bangladesh: Cyclone SIDR”. In his report
he represents about the socio-economic conditions of the SIDR affected people in
coastal area like, Patuakhali, Borguna, Khulna, etc.
Bangladesh is part of the humid tropics, with the Himalayas on the north and the
funnel- shaped coast touching the Bay of Bengal on the south. This peculiar
geography of Bangladesh brings not only the life-giving monsoons but also
catastrophic cyclones, Northwesters, tornadoes and floods. The Bay of Bengal is
an ideal breeding ground for tropical cyclones. Cyclones are usually formed in the
deep seas and hence their study has been very difficult. It is only with the advent
of the Space age that weather satellites have provided valuable information about
them. Direct studies of cyclones with aircraft reconnaissance are also being carried
out by advanced countries. However, only a beginning has been made in
Bangladesh towards the understanding of cyclones.
Introduction
01. Most of people of this area was damaging by the cyclone SIDR
02. This area was one of the significant areas which was injurious by the cyclone
SIDR
03. This area is less distance from our campus, less expensive as well as less time
consuming in conducting to the study.
04. The selected area covers the sample people of both urban and rural areas.
05. The selected area covers the sample people of different group of people like,
illiterate, primary, secondary, higher secondary and higher educated people.
In a complete survey, the required information is collected from each and every
elements of the population. Thus it becomes costly and time consuming. On the
other hand, in a sample survey, required information is collected from selected
elements only. For this reason, it has some basic advantages over complete survey
in the sense that it reduces cost, saves times offer greater scope and accuracy of
data. But it is necessary that the selected samples should represent a reasonable
true picture of the entire population.
In this study people were randomly selected for collecting data. The selected
samples consisted of 8% illiterate people, 28% primary educated people, 36%
secondary educated people, 16% higher secondary educated people and 12%
higher educated people. The total sample size of the present study was thus 25.

Keeping in view of the objective of the study, one interview schedule was
prepared to collect the expected information from consumers. Before peppering
the final interview schedule, draft scheduled were pre-to verify relevance of the
questions and nature of the response from consumers. After pretesting and
collection, modification and adjustment, final survey scheduled were developed.
The final interview schedule contained the following major items of information—
03. The present conditions of the SIDR affected people of Kalapara upazilla in
Patuakhali district.
Collection of Data
Collection of accurate and reliable date and other necessary information from the
field level is not an easy task. It must be done properly since the success of the
survey depends on reliability of data. Data were collected both from primary and
secondary sources for the present study. We collected primary data through direct
personal interview with the respondents in the study areas. Before asking the
individual question, each responded was explained in brief the aims and objective
of the present study. To attain accuracy and reliability of data, care and caution
were taken in the data collection. Attention was paid to the mood of the responded
and a congenial relationship is maintained with them.
The secondary data were collected from various sources like – internet, journals,
reports, newspapers, government official reports and magazines etc.
The period of the present study is one month. Primary data for this is collected
in October- 2008. The secondary data were collected as and when necessary
during the whole period of the study.
For achieving the objectives of the study processing and tabulation are necessary.
All collected primary data for the present data for the present study were coded,
tabulated, summarized and processed for analysis after collection of data form
field level. The first step was taken to scrutinize the data of each and every
schedule to find out any inconsistency or omission in the data collection and to
avoid irrelevant information. After completing the pre-tabulating task, actual
tabulation was stared. Processed data were transferred to a master sheet and
compiled with a view of facilitating tabulation
Analysis of Data
The data were analyzed on the basis of the objectives of the study. In the present
study tabular and descriptive techniques were mainly used for analysis of data.
Tabulation techniques were applied with the help of average, percentage etc. to
find out the meaningful results.
01. There was the limitation of the time and for this, data and other necessary
information had to be collected within the shortest possible time.
02. Most of the respondents in the study areas did not have an idea about a
research study and it was therefore difficult to explain the purpose of this
research of convince them.

03. In many occasions consumers were not available at home and in such cases,
we had to give extra effort and time to collect the information from them.
04. It was difficult to collect data necessary data from the intermediaries especially
in Patuakhali district, as well as Kalapara upazilla. Because, many people of
those areas are not highly educated.
05. Sometime the respondent did not cooperate willingly with the researcher
because they did not find any benefits to provide information to the researcher.
The data are collected by the two ways first one of them is survey is conducted
with the people of SIDR affected people of Kalapara upazilla, and second on of
them is Internet. The data are collected from the people by interview schedule.
During the field visit the major emphasis was given on the following points while
interviewing local people — Accessibility to the cyclone shelter, Socio-economic
conditions, Operation throughout the year, Operation during the disaster,
Dissemination of cyclone warning, Water supply and sanitation, Power supply,
fuel and energy source, Damage, surge height and wind direction, Activity during
disaster, Occupation of local people, Damage to livelihood, Damage to
environment, Modes of local transport, Pattern of local household, Damage to
vegetation, Location of neighboring cyclone shelter, Food availability, Livestock,
Post disaster activities, Socio economic condition of the people before affected by
cyclone SIDR and the present social economic condition of the people,
Conclusions from the field interview.
Economic condition of this upazilla is not satisfactory. Most of the people are
living below the poverty line because of their backward inefficiency in business,
agriculture, fishing and other professions.
Most of the people’s common profession is fishing. They use the traditional boat
and net for fishing. Paddy is produced here as the first crop and a good number of
farmers are related with this profession. The condition of business in this upazilla
is relatively poor, because of the poor living conditions of the people.
We made our survey over 25 SIDR affected people on Kalapara Upazilla under
Patuakhali District. From this sample people, 19 people are male and the rest are
female.
Age-Wise Classification
The age-wise classification of the sample people are shown in the following graph.
SIDR affected peoples are largely influence by its family size. So, it is necessary to see
the effect of SIDR on affected peoples’ family size. The family size of the respondents
was classified into 3 categories such as – small (2- 3 person), medium (4 – 5 person), and
large (5+persons).
Table 1.3 shows that 24% respondents had small family size, 68% respondents had
medium family size while 8% respondents had large family size. In our survey area most
of the families are medium then small family due to modernization and small number are
large family due to urban area.
A person’s occupation affects his or her choice of goods and services. The type of
occupation depends on the level of education of the individual and also defines his or her
social status. Occupation of the respondent who provide data are shown in given below
table and graph.
The sample people are divided into 5 types such as - service holder; business,
Agriculture, fishing and others which are respectively 8%, 16%, 12%, 20% and 44% of
total occupation mainly include student and housewife. Others column includes the
student and the housewife as the occupation as a result its percentage is higher than the
all others.
From this table we easily said tht, the deadly SIDRhave direct impact on the income
level. Our survyed 25 peoples total income before SIDR is 2,693,000. After the SIDR the
general price of the necessary product is increase on the other hand, their income is
decreased to 2,475,000. So there made a direct decrease in income level. From our
survey it is clear that the income level is decreased most of the cases but there also stay
the vice versa over the situation. Through our chart we show that the net income is
increased by 1.30%, on the other hand their net income is decreased by 9.40%. In total
the net decrease amount is tk.218000 in overall. But there stay some sample people over
whom the SIDR have no impact.
To live with minimum standard in the society every man must need to have some asserts.
Our surveyed people have more or less assets of their own to maintain their life. But the
pity matter is that most of the person’s assets is decrease after SIDR. The affected lost
their house, boat, tree, cash money, gold’s, shop, cattle, etc. Even after SIDR some
established businessmen lost everything and now their income level and the amount of
assets is almost zero. Our survey result regarding this aspect is shown under the table and
the graph below-
Through the table it is clear that the assets of the general people are highly decreased by
the affect of SIDR. Before SIDR our sample peoples’ total amount to assets is tk.11,
015,500 and after SIDR this amount is decreased to tk. 9,678,000. So in overall the net
decrease in assets is by tk.1, 337,500. With the decrease of net assets the overall
economic condition of this upazilla is also gone under. So the people go more under the
poverty line. Government and the Non-Government are trying their level best to recovery
the people from this situation.
Kalapara is one of the smallest Upazilla of Bangladesh. The peoples of this area are
mainly associated with the profession of fishing and farming. But after SIDR most of
them are negatively affected by both economically and physically. To back their general
work life they need to re-habitation program. Both government and the NGO are
supporting the people in these aspects. Under this program they get basically rice, oil,
pulse, ready food, house, blanket, financial supports, others. But in the time of providing
those aids inequality is occurred among the affected and non affected people in this area.
For our easy presentation of this report we divided the re-habitation program into two
parts- aid and loans. Condition of providing aid and loans in this area are shown by table
and graph below-
House 8 32%
Blanket 12 48%
Others 19 76%
From this table we see that, the sample receive different kind of relief products. From the
25 survey people 22 received rice, oil pulse, 1o got ready food. The received number of

people of house, blanket and others product are sequentially 8, 12, 19. Here the other
products different products such as match, candle, cloth, dry food, biscuit, necessary
things for cooking, and living etc. Here people got relief many time from the both
government and the NGO.
After SIDR dramatic change is incurred among the people of this area in the matter of
taking loans. The general number of taking loan in highly increased from the before any
other time. Basically most of the people of the poor family take loan in this crisis
moment. Government and NGO both providing loans here with no or little interest. So it
is the way to come out form this deadly situation by utilizing the loans properly. The
number of surveyed loan taking and the non taking people are shown with their
percentage in the following table -
Table: 4.9: Changes occur among the surveyed people about loan
Total 25 25 7 7
The affected people are received sufficient relief from the both Government and NGO.
They also got relief from other various sectors. But there stay unequal distribution of this
relief among the affected and the non-affected people. Some surveyed sample people
said that, sometime the non-affected got more relief than the affected people. VGF cards
are not always distributed according the right manner. Above it most of the people in this
area are happy over the both Government and Private organization because of their quick
initiative in this regard. Efficiency in providing relief among the affected people are
shown through the table and graph below-
CHANGES IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS OF THE SIDR AFFECTED PEOPLE
65 | P a g e
Table: 4.10: various sectors from where sample people are benefited
According to our survey we said that the general people of Kalapara Upazilla are highly
benefited from the NGO which percentage is equal to 64%, where as the contribution of
Government is only 32%. Not only in providing relief but also in distributing the relief
efficiency of NGO is higher than the Government Organization.
Graph: 4.10: various sectors from where sample people are benefited
Both Government and the Non-government Organization try there level best in
distributing the relief among the affected people. But the question is arises about their
efficiency. Most of the people in this area comments that there is hedge amount of relief
but because of the inefficiency of the administration unequal distribution is occur among
the affected and the non-affected people.
Distributors Efficiency
Total out of 25 sample Percentage
Government Organization 2 8
Non-Government Organization 9 36
Public Administration 0 0
Union Parishad 4 16
Army Administration 10 40
Through the table we see, miserable performance show by the Government Organization
in distributing their relief among the affected people. Our surveyed people said that the
most efficient in distributing relief is the NGO. They are more cautious about the
corruption and take careful steps to stop or remove the biasness at the time of providing
relief. Bangladesh Army shows a high performance in distributing relief and a good

number of affected people believe that the total responsibilities of distributing relief need
to provide on them. Both Union Parishad and the Government organization is relatively
show poor performance in distributing relief.
Question no. 03
CHANGES IN SOCIO-ECONOMIC FACTORS OF THE SIDR AFFECTED PEOPLE
68 | P a g e
Was there any corruption is distributing the relief?
Through our survey we see that in almost every time corruption is occur in distributing
relief. But in some situation the amount of this corruption is little and in very few areas
this rate is high. We got mixed answer about this question. Some time non-affected
people got more relief than the affected people. The opinion of the surveyed people about
corruption in distributing relies are analyzed below-
Yes 13 52%
No 12 48%
Almost same numbers of people are agreed and disagree with the question. Above it, the
percentage of the corruption occurred in distributing relief is 52%, which is greater than
the percentage of people who are against the answer.
Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal Because of the funnel shaped coast of the Bay of Bengal,
Bangladesh very often becomes the landing ground of cyclones formed in the Bay of
Bengal. Most of the damage occurs in the coastal regions of Khulna, Patuakhali, Barisal,
Noakhali and Chittagong and the offshore islands of Bhola, Hatiya, Sandwip, Manpura,
Kutubdia, Maheshkhali, Nijhum Dwip, Urir Char and other newly formed islands. We
take Kalapara Upazilla as our sample area because it is an area which is highly affected
by SIDR. We made our survey over 25 affected People. Summary over the sample people
are given below-
Because of SIDR, in this Kalapara area the attitude and the pattern of the people towards
occupation have been dramatically changed. Some people lost everything for their
business; someone lost their only boat for fishing, someone lost their grocery shop etc.
As a result a great deal of change in occurs among the people of this area according to
their socio- economic factors. Most of the people who are employed before SIDR are lost
their employment because of this SIDR. A good number of people lost or change their
business after SIDR. So SIDR affect directly on the socio-economic factor of the people
of this area.
Through our analyze we see that most of the person’s assets are decrease after SIDR. The
affected lost their house, boat, tree, cash money, gold’s, shop, cattle, etc. Even after SIDR
some established businessmen lost everything and now their income level and the
amount of assets is almost zero.
Both government and the NGO are supporting the people through their re-habitation
program. Under this program they get basically rice, oil, pulse, ready food, house,
blanket, financial supports, others. But in the time of providing those aids inequality is
occurred among the affected and non affected people in this area.
1. No fatality was reported around the shelter where storm surge was not occurred.
But most of the crops and a few livestock are destroyed due to excessive wind.
Some houses and electric poles are destroyed by the cyclone.
2. Many people died in shelters due to storm surge about 10 to 12 ft. height above
embankment. Most of the crops and a few livestock are des0074royed due
storm surge.
4. The reasons behind neglecting the cyclone warning are found as follows.
5. There was a warning of Tsunami a few days ago but no Tsunami occurred.
During that warning many people went to the cyclone shelter. This false
warning was stayed a longer time than it should be and it misleads people.
7. Some people are afraid of steeling of their daily household goods such as
bedding, cooking pots and cloths. They remain home to avoid chances of
steeling.
8. There was no shelter for livestock and that makes people also resultant to leave
their home.
9. The cyclone shelter was over crowded during that night and some people were
not able to enter the shelter.
10. NGO and government officials and army reached immediate if the area is close
to city center. In some remote areas it takes about two days due to blockage of
road from fallen trees. Post relief activities were found continuing for the
cyclone victims.
11. Local fisherman was reluctant to take precautions against cyclone warning.
They are continuing fishing in the river until evening. Some people did not go
to shelter due to fear of stealing of their daily household goods.
12. Embankments are damaged in many places. A cross dam was found failed due
to excessive pressure of retained water. The trees on the downstream side of
the embankment increase velocity of the surge water and cause destruction of
the embankment.
● Considering the budget constraint, more shelters of smaller size will be better than less
number of larger sized ones.
● Post rehabilitation should focus on creating job opportunities and provide micro credit
for housing, agriculture, livestock and fisheries.
