UN PRAISES BANGLADESH'S PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE TO TROPICAL STORM MAHASEN
New York, May 20 2013 10:00AM
The United Nations has commended the work carried out by the
Bangladeshi Government ahead of tropical storm Mahasen, which hit the
country last Thursday, noting it saved thousands of lives.

"While tropical storm Mahasen reached the coastline of Bangladesh on
Thursday weaker than anticipated, the preparedness work undertaken by
the Government and humanitarian partners saved countless lives," the
UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in
a news release.

An estimated one million people were evacuated from 13 coastal
districts in the 24-hour period prior to the storm hitting on
Thursday. Through its Cyclone Preparedness Programme, the Government
activated a number of measures including mobilizing thousands of
community volunteers, sending alerts and information to at-risk
communities and advancing cash payments, as well as collaborating with
international humanitarian partners to ensure a coordinated response
was on standby.

Preliminary assessments from the Government indicate that 13 people
died and some 1.2 million people were affected by the storm.

"While unfortunately there has been a loss of life, the Government
demonstrated its commitment to disaster risk reduction and hase taken
the necessary preparedness steps to prevent a catastrophe" said acting
UN Resident Coordinator Pascal Villeneuve.

"This part of the world is regularly hit by major cyclones and so
everyone took the threat extremely seriously and made sure the right
measures were in place, and ensured communities in the path of the
storm were safe and well informed."

OCHA said it would continue to work with Bangladesh to restore
livelihoods, shelter and provide clean water, sanitation and hygiene
in affected areas.

Bangladesh has extensive experience in disaster risk reduction since
adopting a series of preparedness measures following Cyclone Bhola in
1971 that killed more than 400,000 people. In 2009, when Cyclone Aila
struck, many volunteers helped move thousands of people out of the
disaster area, ultimately saving lives. The death toll from that
tragedy was less than 200.
