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.
