title = "Disaster Law in Bangladesh: Current Scenario, Management Strategies and Challenges",
abstract = "Bangladesh is a highly disaster-prone country suffering from natural and anthropogenic disasters. Therefore, the government has developed a comprehensive legal framework and laws to address disaster management and mitigation. These disaster management laws and frameworks have been a major focus, with investments in disaster management significantly decreasing. The government of Bangladesh has already implemented different laws regarding disaster management in coordination with the stakeholders, and Bangladesh has made significant strides in improving its disaster resilience. The laws were put into practice to make coordination among different institutions for building up infrastructure to effectively manage all types of disasters. This chapter will discuss the history of disaster in Bangladesh, different disaster risk management processes, institutional management strategies and coordination with different stakeholders, disaster management plans in Bangladesh, and the overall challenges for effective disaster management in Bangladesh.",
