Well, many parts of Bangladesh will come under water with rising sea levels. They should be on top of Disaster management & preparation. On the other hand, Bangladesh was never affected by the Tsunami. During Tsunami (in SL), one hundred million people got displaced, 31,229 died and 4,093 got missing. Are we going to learn from Bangladesh or Bangladesh going to learn from us? Or both of us going to learn from each other?
