Abstract

Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries of the world and has been subjected to frequent natural disasters in many forms, particularly cyclonic storms and storm surges. The low-lying coastal areas are particularly vulnerable, thus placing these population, infrastructure, agriculture, livestock and economic development in a high-risk situation. The situation calls for an effective cyclone warning and dissemination system. With a view to address that this research intends to develop and manage a website containing all the information for helping in taking decision about disaster management. As its common knowledge that disaster victims need immediate, efficient and effective rescue and relief services, this system will provide relief and rescue workers with a platform easy to use, fast to search, retrieve and access information and most importantly will help in preventing the duplication of relief works. Overall, proper co-ordination will be ensured among the existing organization seems to be lacking due to the shortage of effective information dissemination system.
