DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Disaster management has become an integral part of sustainable development. Disaster management activities can be referred to as mitigation/prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Disaster Management includes providing financial assistance to those organizations which are involved in disaster management activities; awareness building programs for disaster management (seminars, workshops, advertisements, leaflets, booklets, etc.); training for human resource development to ensure disaster management efficiently; emergency disaster relief (for losses in flood, cyclone, tornado, tidal bore, earthquake, landslide, fire burn, extreme cold, drought, heavy rainfall, sudden river erosion, etc.); upgrading facilities and lifesaving equipment in emergency rescue services (fire brigades, coast guards) etc. During the last two years, Bank Asia helped numerous individuals by providing more than 150000 pieces of blankets for cold affected people and relief for flood affected people
