Climate-Induced Disasters: Preparedness and Adaptation Strategies

Climate change has become a critical global issue, significantly affecting population health, poverty, and development. Climate-induced disasters (CINDs), such as floods, droughts, and cyclones, exacerbate existing vulnerabilities, particularly in disadvantaged communities. The objective of this study was to conduct a thorough review of climate induced disaster through an analysis of existing literature. The literature was analyzed to identify techniques, challenges, and potential future directions in climate induced disaster. Data was gathered from research papers, reports, and case studies. The rising frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, driven by hydrological, meteorological, and climatological changes, challenge the resilience of cities and regions worldwide. This paper explores the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, human health, and economies, with a focus on Bangladesh and other vulnerable regions like Southern Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. It delves into the preparedness and adaptation strategies employed by governments and organizations, highlighting flood mitigation, climate change adaptation, and disaster risk reduction (DRR) initiatives. Barriers to effective disaster management, such as resource limitations, complex stakeholder coordination, and policy gaps, are also discussed. The future of disaster management is likely to focus on innovative solutions involving predictive technologies, climate-resilient infrastructure, and collaborative, community-based approaches to enhance resilience against climate-induced disasters.
