9 Introduction Natural disasters remain synonymous of Bangladesh in the international arena since long. Bangladesh is known as one of the most vulnerable countries to natural disasters and climate change. Throughout the year, our people are affected by natural disasters like cyclone, flood, drought, landslide, tornado, earthquake, etc. as well as man-made disasters like fire and urban flooding. Though people of affected areas of Bangladesh have so far promoted to make them resilient to natural disasters like flood and cyclone, we, as residents of Dhaka, are mostly unfamiliar with possible disaster like earthquake. This handbook is for citizen of Dhaka. You will learn three major hazards that are commonly found and discussed in Dhaka but people are not so confident in what to do during earthquake, fire, and heavy rain. The handbook is full of tips that you should know to save you and your family during those hazards. At end of the page, there are some important numbers and information to keep, and we recommend that you carry this handbook in your bags. 3

10 Earthquake Earthquake occurs when two tectonic plates fluctuate as these plates are constantly moving, sliding and bumping into each other. Powerful earthquakes have repeatedly attacked Dhaka and surrounding areas every years in the history, the Great Assam earthquake in 1897 (Ms 8.7) and Indo-Burma Border earthquake in 1988 (Ms 7.3), both originated their epicenters below Bangladesh. Why Dhaka is vulnerable? We are on active faults! None of us have experienced a major earthquake in Dhaka in our lifetime. But we are all aware that Bangladesh urban dwellers are under enormous threat of earthquake. Dhaka is one of the top twenty high earthquake risk cities in the world. Bangladesh is located on some active faults such as Dauki, Chittagong-Arak an, and Madhupur Faults. More than 100 years have already passed since a heavy earthquake hit Bangladesh Madhupur Fault ZONE-3 Severe vulerable ZONE-2 Moderate vulerable 1885 DHAKA ZONE-1 Minor-to moderate vulnerable Dauki Fault 1918 Bangladesh Seismic Map with Historical Occurance 2003 Chittagong-Arakan Fault

11 We are considered 2nd vulnerable! Dhaka is situated in Zone 2 which is vulnerable to moderate size earthquake, while North Eastern Zone 1 is vulnerable to frequent and intensified earthquake according to the seismic hazard map of Bangladesh, made under BNBC (Bangladesh National Building Code). South Western zone is categorized into Zone 3, which is considered least vulnerable to earthquake. However these zone categories are assumption, we should always take precautions to face possible earthquake.

12 We are living in rapidly urbanized city! Fifteen million people live in Dhaka and the city has been experiencing a rapid urbanization. Imagine that such city is affected by an earthquake. Rapid pace of urbanization in Dhaka is challenged by sub-standard construction for the buildings. Congested buildings and narrow roads make people s evacuation even more difficult. Enforcement of BNBC and better city planning remain huge challenge for Dhaka. 6

13 Impacts of Earthquake Earthquake affects millions of people with collapsed buildings and infrastructures. Earthquake doesn t kill people but the buildings do. Strong shakes generated by earthquake affects faulty and weak foundation and structure of the buildings easily. Damage caused by Nov 1997 earthquake in Chittagong Column damaged by 1999 earthquake in Moheshkhali 7

14 Buildings collapsed due to faulty & weak foundation structure Earthquake also causes fire, landslide, and tsunami (coastal area), that affect people s lives. Therefore it is important that we protect ourselves from collapsing buildings and then take appropriate and quick action to take refuges to safer locations and turn off fires when the shaking is stopped. Though we have no control on natural calamities especially on disaster like earthquake, we could take actions for disaster preparedness to reduce losses of lives and assets. Most importantly, we have to make sure that our buildings are safe (= follow BNBC-Bangladesh National Building Code throughout the process). And then we all have to know some tips on how we should act when an earthquake occurs.

15 How to save yourself during/after earthquake When a large earthquake occurs, it is difficult to respond in calm manner. In order to act calmly and without getting panic when an earthquake strikes, let s memorize the following behavioral pattern. When the shaking is strong and unable to move DROP down onto your hands and knees. This position protects you from falling objects but allows you to still move if necessary. COVER your head and neck (and your entire body, if possible) under a table. If there is no shelter nearby, you may get down near a stiff pillar and cover your head and neck with your arms and hands. HOLD ON to your shelter (or to your head and neck) until the shaking stops. When the shaking is minor to moderate or when the strong shaking is stopped Evacuate from the building immediately for safer place 9

16 When cooking: At home - If you can, turn off the flames as soon as you feel the shaking. - Leave the kitchen as soon as possible as a kitchen is filled with many dangers, including cabinet, hanging knifes and pots. When Sleeping: - Protect your head with blanket or pillow, and lay down under the bed or some other place where furniture won t fall on you. - It is hard to determine what is happening in the room when it is dark. Always keep a flashlight and mobile phone near your pillow. When in the bath or toilet: - Bathroom and toilet are said to be relatively safe location during an earthquake. Do not panic and jump out; remain calm and secure an exit by opening the door or a window. - Be careful of toilet fittings, tiles and other falling objects. - While taking a bath, remain calm and turn of water tab. 10

17 In other buildings When your children are at school - Follow the directions of the teachers. - When inside a classroom, immediately get under your desk and tightly hold onto its legs. - Get away from book shelves and windows, and move to a safe area. When at the office or shopping center - Be careful of cabinet rack or showcases tripping over, falling hard files, merchandises, and broken glasses. Get near a pillar or the wall, and cover your head with your clothes or handheld items. - Rushing to the exit is dangerous as it can cause a panic and you may stampeded. Inside an elevator: - Press all the buttons and exit at the next available floor where the elevator stops at. - If you are trapped, be aware that it is dangerous to try to forcedly escape through the roof, etc. use the emergency button or the interphone to contact the outside and wait for help. - Do not use elevators for evacuation. 11

18 When Outside When on a busy street: - Protect your head with hand baggage or some other items, and evacuate to a square, field or an open space. - Separate yourself from buildings, walls, electric polls and gateposts. - Never touch broken and fallen electrical cables. When on a bridge: - When on a bridge or a pedestrian bridge, hold on tightly to the handrail or fence to prevent being shaken off the bridge. - There is a danger that the bridge may collapse. When shaking has decreased, immediately escape from the bridge. When inside a vehicle When driving a car: - Suddenly stopping the car lead to a major accident, hold tight on the wheel and gradually decrease your speed. Pull over on the left side of the road and make ways for emergency vehicles. - Do not get off your car until the shaking has subsided. 12

19 When riding a vehicle When riding on a bus: - If you are seated, hunch forward and hold on tight to the back seat in front of you. - If you are standing, hold on tight to the hanging straps or the hand grips on the seats, or squat down and hand on to seat legs. - Do not rush toward the exit unless the shaking has subsided. Do not evacuate with your car When an earthquake occurs, it is very important to ensure that fire engines and other emergency vehicles can pass. Evacuate by foot unless it is absolutely necessary to use a car, for example: households with elderly or sick persons that cannot walk easily. 13

20 How to save yourself? Earthquake is such a natural disaster that won t give you any chance to get immediate preparation. There is no early warning system for earthquake like the other natural disasters. So, you have to be prepared by yourself from even today to face the earthquake. If you can take few precautions, you may save you and your family member lives. Prepare evacuation plan with family members Decide how to evacuate, who helps whom, what to do. Decide family meeting places when members are not at home. Keep important numbers. Keep exit routes unblocked In order to evacuate safely, do not place furniture or object, prone to falling over in passageways, to the entrance and exists. Placing these objects in these areas can block the exit during emergency. Plan out how to fix furniture with walls: Place boards under the front ends of furniture and have them rest lightly against the wall. It is very important how you place furniture inside your house to reduce risk from the shaking. 14

21 Reinforce light fixtures: - Lights that are affixed directly to the ceiling are safe. - Hanging lights should be reinforced in multiple locations with fittings and chains. - Secure both ends of fluorescent light bulbs with heat resistant tape to prevent from falling. Do not place furniture that is likely to fall over If an earthquake occurs during the sleeping hours, there is possibility that children, elderly and sick will be obstructed by fallen furniture and will not be able to escape in time. Plan out how to store things: - Store heavy things on the bottom, lighter things on the top. - Fix spaces in bookshelves and other storage areas with bookends. Secure a safe place inside Secure a safe place inside your home where there is less furniture without falling object. 15

22 Emergency Bag Every family should prepare emergency bag considering the family size and needs. The items should be stored inside the emergency bag and the bag should be chosen to make your hands free. The emergency bag should be stored in a location where it can be easily retrieved when evacuating.

23 Fire Fire incident has been increasing in an alarming rate in Bangladesh. The Nimtoli tragedy still remains a nightmare for the Dhaka dwellers. A total of 117 people were instantly burnt to death while at least another 150 received critical burn injuries from a devastating fire, broke out at Nimtoli residential areas of old part of the capital on June 3, If we look to industrial sector, the statistics are more shocking; at least 500 workers have been killed only in the readymade garments sector due to fire in last 22 years, according to the Bangladesh Institute of Labor Studies (BILS). In two out of every three fatal fires of the industrial units, investigators found no working smoke alarms. Either the batteries are missing or expired, or the smoke alarm has been removed from the ceiling or was never installed at all. Though incident of devastating fire became a common phenomenon in the large cities of Bangladesh including Dhaka, the awareness level regarding fire safety is still very poor among the city dwellers. But just with little sense of fire safety & first aid, one may save huge losses of life and property. It is also important to remember that fires often break out in many places after an earthquake. Strong winds like cyclone or tornado could spread the fire into larger area. How fires break out Fire breaks out when 3 elements are met: organic inflammables, oxygen, and the fire. In other words, if we could remove one of these 3 elements, the fire will not break out or by removing one of the elements, you can extinguish the fire. For example, if a fire breaks out from overheated oil; cover the pan to shut down the air to flow in. When the oxygen is used, the fire will go out. 17

24 Main Causes of Fire and ways to avoid Carelessness and accidents - Lack of attention when cooking; careless placement of items near the cooker. - Inattentive use of candles and mosquito coils. - Accidents involving gas, propane and solvents. Electrical equipment - Short circuits - Overloaded systems and fuses - Loose connections - Frayed cords; improper use of extension cords. Smoking or fire lighting material - Cigarettes (especially falling asleep while smoking or not properly extinguishing cigarettes). - Children playing with matches or lighters. 18

25 Try to extinguish when the fire is still small If a fire breaks out, try to extinguish with: 1. Water or damp cloths can be used to extinguish the fire. However, if oil is burning, do not use water as you may get burnt from splash/spits. 2. Sand can be used to extinguish the fire. 3. If your cooking pot is burning with overheated oil, cover the pot with chopping board or sort and wait till all the oxygen is burnt inside. What to do if fire breaks out 1. Call out loudly to alert your neighbors and get help. 2. Try to turn it off when if it is small. Use fire extinguisher or wet clothes. 3. If you can safely do so, close the door of the room where the fire has started and close all other doors behind you. This will help delay the spread of smoke. 4. Before opening a closed door, use the back of your hand to touch it. Don t open it, if it feels hot the fire will be on the other side. 5. Get everyone out as quickly as possible. 6. Don t try to pick up valuables or possessions. 7. Cover your mouth with wet clothes and move as low as possible to avoid smoke, because smoke rise upwards. 8. Make your way out as safely as possible. 9. Call the Fire Brigade. Clearly state the address of the fire. 10. Never go back into the building until a fire fighter has told you it is safe to do so. 19

26 How to save yourself when caught in a fire: 1. It is not easy, but try to remain calm. 2. Go to the window. If the room becomes smoky, go down to floor level it s easier to breath because the smoke will rise upwards. 3. Open the windows, try to attract the attention of others who can alert the fire brigade. 4. If you are prevented from getting out because of flames or smoke, close the door nearest to the fire and use towels or sheets to block the gaps. This will help stop smoke spreading into the room. 5. Long clothes like gamcha, sharee, bed sheets etc. tied together can be used as escaping rope. Smoke contains poisonous gases such as carbon monoxide, and breathing it in carries the risk of death from poisoning or other causes. - Cover your mouth and nose with a wet gamchha, shawl, towel, handkerchief or your clothes if it is possible - Lower yourself as much as possible - In stairwells, lower yourself and go down facing backwards. - If it is a short distance, hold your breath and dash out quickly - If you cannot see well, evacuate by staying close to the wall. 20

27 Heavy Rainfall The Dhaka residents are very much familiar with heavy rainfall and severe water clogging following by the heavy rain. In Dhaka, the existing drainage system can carry rainwater of 15 mm per hour, if the sewerage system is not clogged with waste. But most of the cases drains are clogged with wastes. As a result, the city is filled with waist-deep rainwater in couple hours of rainfalls. Heavy rains do not kill people in Dhaka but affect our lives and economy. Wastewater pour is also a concern to our health. Why Dhaka is Vulnerable Dhaka is surrounded by two main rivers and their distributaries, canals, lakes, and ponds. During monsoon season, the flood worsens due to rise of water level. In addition, with Dhaka s rapid growth, riverbanks and ponds were filled up to create extra space. This encroachment of natural drainage worsens the natural flow of water thus causing serious water logging and flooding. Blockage of drainages with unintentional waste disposal is another concern. However, if we will be little bit aware, we can manage the water clogging in great extent. 21

28 Safety tips during heavy rainfall and water clogging - Do not touch hanging/detached power line and inform immediately to power supply authority. - Pay attention to undiscovered manhole. - Drive slowly - Take care of drinking water to avoid contamination. - For the high storied buildings place the supply water reservoirs in higher ground, so that sewerage water cannot contaminate the fresh water. - Put belongings at higher place to avoid being wet. - Store necessary things in an Emergency bag to use during the disaster period such as torch light, candle, matches, first aid, water and dry foods. What to do for checking water clogging Let the drainage lead free from waste - Clean the lead of underground drainage near to your house at least once in a week. - Don t through any inorganic waste to drain and tell not to do so to your neighbors. - Make an awareness campaign in your community in this regard. Waste Management - Through waste in demarcated dustbin of the Dhaka city corporation - Try to segregate organic and inorganic waste from your households - Aware your household helping hand about proper waste management 22

30 Bangladesh suffers frequently by various natural calamities such as cyclone, flood, tornado etc. The country is also situated in an earthquake prone region. A medium to high magnitude earthquake may bring tremendous property loss and sufferings at anytime. To minimize damages to public buildings and thus ensure their functionality, the technical assistance from Japan, "Capacity Development on Natural Disaster-Resistant Techniques of Construction and Retrofitting for Public Buildings (CNCRP)" has started in 2011 as a 4-year long project, covering the public buildings of Dhaka, Chittagong & Sylhet supervised by Public Works Department (PWD) to develop capacity of the engineers to promote seismic-resistant RC buildings. The project is conducted in 5 fields; 1) Building Inventory & Database, 2) Vulnerability Assessment/Design, 3) Construction Management, 4) Quality Control, and 5) Dissemination/awareness, all are being monitored in PDMA cycle and disseminated to other departments and private sector through seminars & training programs, ensuring that the number of safer buildings will increase in Bangladesh in future.

59 Bangladesh suffers frequently by various natural calamities such as cyclone, flood, tornado etc. The country is also situated in an earthquake prone region. A medium to high magnitude earthquake may bring tremendous property loss and sufferings at anytime. To minimize damages to public buildings and thus ensure their functionality, the technical assistance from Japan, "Capacity Development on Natural Disaster-Resistant Techniques of Construction and Retrofitting for Public Buildings (CNCRP)" has started in 2011 as a 4-year long project, covering the public buildings of Dhaka, Chittagong & Sylhet supervised by Public Works Department (PWD) to develop capacity of the engineers to promote seismic-resistant RC buildings. The project is conducted in 5 fields; 1) Building Inventory & Database, 2) Vulnerability Assessment/Design, 3) Construction Management, 4) Quality Control, and 5) Dissemination/awareness, all are being monitored in PDMA cycle and disseminated to other departments and private sector through seminars & training programs, ensuring that the number of safer buildings will increase in Bangladesh in future.
