More bad news regarding floods!

Despite the conditions of the floods in Assam and neighboring Bangladesh improving slowly, the future is only expected to be worse. Maplecroft, a consulting firm recently released conclusions from its flood hazard data, which showed that by 2050 India and Bangladesh will be home to 28% of the people most at risk from floods. Many regions in Bangladesh such as Khulna and Sylhet are due to have more than 40% of their populations being exposed to riverine flooding by 2050.

To stop this increased risk of flooding these countries and organizations in these countries have to take environmental risk into consideration while making policies. They will also have to focus more on disaster risk reduction. This is due to most disasters like floods not only displacing people but also having large-scale negative impacts on economies and supply chains, both of which are important to global and national development. I believe that it is now high time for governments to focus on sustainable development. We don't need further aggravation of these disasters, they're already causing too much damage!
