Introduction
Bangladesh is one of the highest disaster prone countries in the world. Every year, the country
experiences frequent natural disasters causing huge loss of lives and properties due to its
geographic location and climatic condition. The horrible disasters like flood, cyclone, tornado, tidal
surge, river erosion, drought, hill slide and earthquake are common phenomenon here. The
social, economic, demographic and environmental problems are exacerbated by these natural
disasters. Disaster directly affects water and sanitation condition. WatSan infrastructures like
tubewell and latrine are mostly damaged in the disaster exposing millions of people to high risk of
health hazards, wasting large efforts and repeated investments. Ultimately it slows down the
development of the country. There are multiple examples of damaged water and sanitation
facilities and post flood prevalence of high rate of diarrheal incidences during the flood in the year
2007.

Disaster friendly water and sanitation concept and technologies intend to provide disaster resilient functional water and sanitation
facilities and allow the people in having continuous access to the facilities during and after disaster. The facilities are developed in a
way to make them friendly in use especially during the disaster. These contribute in limiting the spread of diseases due to
contaminated water and lack of sanitation facilities all the time and during disasters and post-disasters especially. The concept has
been piloted in a small scale through ‘Vulnerability Mapping and WatSan Component’ project. Concern Universal Bangladesh (CUB)
and Dhaka Ahsania Mission (DAM) jointly undertake this project with a view to test the effectiveness of the concept and to
disseminate learning to other sector stakeholders.

Project Objectives
The specific objectives of the projects are to:

• Promote disaster friendly concept and technology at micro and macro levels.
• Identify set-up and needs of the community through vulnerability mapping.
• Ensure availability of potable water to the targeted population through provision of water sources.
• Improve sanitation for the targeted population through provision of sanitation facilities.
 Implementation Strategies
The project is being implemented on pilot basis to assess the effectiveness of disaster
friendly concept and technologies. The project undertakes initiatives to implement few
elements of the concept and to establish a functional mechanism to sustain the process.
The major strategies to be followed in this project are to:

• Identify disaster friendly appropriate WatSan technologies based on community

opinion and consultation with the sector stakeholders.
• Mobilize the institutions like UP, SMC, Para committee and Hat bazaar committee for
implementation of hardware facilities.
• Facilitate UP to play coordinating role in the implementation process.
• Orient private sector, other service provider (OSP) like driller, latrine producer and
mason and link them with disaster friendly WatSan program.
• Develop the community as well as institutional capacity for implementation of the hardware and software activities under the
project through training and orientation.
• Select site for hardware installation based on vulnerability mapping and need assessment.
• Undertake simulation and cultural event based social mobilization activities for community awareness building.
• Promote entrepreneurship for care taking and sustaining operation and maintenance of the constructed WatSan facilities.
• Crystallize disaster friendly WatSan concept based on good practices of the sector stakeholders and lessons learned from this
project.

Introducing to Vulnerability Mapping

Introducing to Vulnerability Mapping
With the view to identify set-up and needs of the community, ‘Vulnerability Mapping’ was initiated at field level. ‘Vulnerability Mapping’
focuses on identifying the vulnerable area and group by the community itself. In terms of project components, it highlights water
and sanitation situation during normal period and disaster, risk of disaster on water and sanitation infrastructure, different facilities
under risk of disaster and capability of the community as major indicators. Analyzing such types of basic indicators, ‘Vulnerability
Mapping’ was completed at para, ward, union and upazilla level. It was finalized at union and upazilla level to be disseminated at
macro level.

Vulnerability
Vulnerability describes the potential to be harmed physically and/or psychologically which is often understood as the counterpart of
resilience.  In relation to hazards and disasters, vulnerability is a concept that links the relationship that people have with the
environment to social forces and institutions and the cultural values that sustain and contest them. In other words, it is the extent to
which a community can be affected by the impact of a hazard1.

The concept of social vulnerability emerged most recently within the discourse on natural hazards and disasters. Most work
conducted so far focuses on empirical observation and conceptual models. It emphasizes on understanding the social conditions that
transform a natural hazard (e.g. flood, cyclone, river erosion etc.) into a social disaster. The concept emphasizes two central
themes2:

1. Both the causes and the phenomenon of disasters are defined by social processes and structures. Thus, it is not only a geo-
or biophysical hazard, but rather the social context that is taken into account to understand ‘natural’ disasters.

2. Although different group of a society may share a similar exposure to a natural hazard, the hazard has varying consequences
for these groups, since they have diverging capacities and abilities to handle the impact of a hazard.

Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is the process through which the vulnerability is identified, quantified and prioritized or ranked in an
organized system. Vulnerability in the perspective of disaster management means assessing the threats from potential hazards to the

population and to the infrastructure developed in that particular area. Vulnerability assessment has many things in common with risk
assessment. Risk analysis is principally concerned with investigating the risks surrounding physical plant or other object, its design
and operation. Such analyses tend to focus on causes and the direct consequences for the studied objects.

Vulnerability analysis, on the other hand, focuses both on consequences for the object itself and on primary and secondary
consequences for the surrounding environment. It also concerns itself with the possibilities of reducing such consequences and of
improving the capacity to manage future incidents. In general, vulnerability analysis serves to categorize key assets and to drive the
risk management process.

Vulnerability assessment in ‘Vulnerability Mapping and WatSan Component’ project was performed according to the following steps:

1. Classify the assets such as safe water option, safe sanitation facility, institutions and public places used as shelter during
disaster and the capabilities (resources through wealth ranking) in a system.
2. Identify the vulnerabilities or potential threats to resource such as condition of safe water and sanitation option during
normal period and safe water and sanitation facilities under risk of disaster.
3. Assess the vulnerability and present in order (ranking).

Objectives of Vulnerability Mapping

The objectives of the Vulnerability Mapping are to:

• Make the overall community aware of vulnerable group as well as vulnerable areas in terms
of water, sanitation and disaster.
• Identify vulnerable pockets in the working area by the community itself in a participatory
approach.
• Ensure distribution of the project facilities to appropriate vulnerable group/ community.
• Disseminate vulnerability information to the sector actors at micro and macro level.

Vulnerability Assessment and Mapping

Vulnerability Mapping focuses the issue of identifying vulnerable areas based on the analysis of major indicators from the area map.
The vulnerable area is identified and marked as well. The map, at different level, represents all relevant information (water sources,
safe water option, hygienic latrine, safe water option under risk of disaster, condition of the safe water option during disaster, total
household, poor and hardcore poor household etc.) and the ranking of the areas according to the analysis.
Steps followed in developing Vulnerability Mapping Major Indicators for Vulnerability Assessment

Vulnerability Mapping was developed at different level such as para, ward, union and − Water Options (Functional Tubewell-with

completing the transect walk, the community developed the area map and identified the
household, infrastructure, water points, latrines etc. Accordingly, analyzing the important indicators of wealth ranking, the
households were classified into Rich, Middle Class, Poor and Hardcore Poor. Then, the households were marked with the status of
wealth ranking. Afterward, the issue of disaster was introduced to the community in detail. The community has shared the
experience about disasters in the area. They highlighted the vulnerable situation within the area, WatSan situation during and after
disaster and affected zones of the area in detail. Accordingly, the areas of the para which were mostly affected by disaster were
identified. Afterward, they made the consensus on the group/ households who are capable to fight
against disaster and its damage utilizing their own resources. The community, then assessed the
vulnerability and categorized the total area into different groups as most vulnerable, moderately
vulnerable and less vulnerable based on WatSan situation, affect of disaster and capability of
household. And, later, they marked the areas in map with different color to reflect vulnerability.

• Vulnerability Mapping at Ward level

Ward Sanitation Taskforce (WSTF) has integrated vulnerability mapping at ward level with the
support of the representative from Para Action Team (PAT). Vulnerability mapping at ward level
was developed based on the compiled para map of the respective ward. The ward map shows
especially the vulnerable paras within ward area.

The map was developed through demarcation of the para areas. Then the compiled information of
vulnerability mapping at para level was included in the respective para area and was analyzed in
detail by the representatives of WSTF. As the members of WSTF come from the respective paras
within the ward, they easily could share information and also could review the information accordingly. The WSTF then analyzed
information of the paras and compared with one another. Based on the comparative analysis of the information and risk of disaster,
WSTF analyzed situation of all respective para and finalized the ranking accordingly. The basic indicators such as hygienic latrine,
safe water option, WatSan situation during normal period as well as during disaster and wealth ranking were analyzed in detail for
vulnerability analysis.

• Vulnerability Mapping at Union level

The vulnerability mapping at union level was developed and finalized by Union Sanitation Taskforce (USTF). The USTF herewith
identified the vulnerable wards within the union area. It developed the union map identifying all nine wards in the respective union.
The situation of different wards was analyzed based on the compiled information of vulnerability mapping at ward level. The varying
affects of disaster from ward to ward and the relevant information was mainly considered for the analysis. Again, the information
was assessed comparatively to finalize the comparative analysis of the wards as the same as done at ward level. It helped the USTF
in finalizing the ranking of the wards within the union accordingly.

• Vulnerability Mapping at Upazilla level

Finally, at upazilla level, the vulnerability mapping was developed and finalized by Upazilla Sanitation Taskforce. The UZSTF
developed the upazilla map based on the union mapping. It identified the vulnerable unions within the respective upazilla. The
upazilla map indicated the unions into different ranking of vulnerability. Depending on the compiled information of vulnerability
mapping at union level, the situation was analyzed and the ranking was finalized accordingly. And, at last, it finalized the
vulnerability mapping of the respective upazilla marking the unions in different classes as most vulnerable, moderately vulnerable
and less vulnerable.

Vulnerability Analysis at Upazilla level

Doulatkhan Upazilla, Bhola

In Doulatkhan upazilla, there are nine unions named by Charkholifa, North Joynagar,
Charpata, South Joynagar, Meduya, Bhobanipur, Sayedpur, Madanpur and Hazipur.
There are 28,694 households in total in the upazilla, out of which, 5,631 and 10,065 are
hardcore poor and poor respectively. In the upazilla, the unions Bhobanipur, Sayedpur,
Modonpur and Hazipur are identified as the most vulnerable unions. North Joynagar,
South Joynagar and Meduya are marked as less vulnerable and two unions Chakholifa
and Charpata are moderately vulnerable. In the four most vulnerable unions, the
percentage of hardcore poor and poor in total is 87.2%, 62.8%, 94.8% and 95.3% respectively. The latrine coverage is 17.86%,
46.92%, 13.27% and 10% respectively. There are only 4 safe water options in Modonpur union for 633 households. On the other
hand, only 6 safe water options exist in Hazipur for 400 households. In both the unions, no water option remains safe during
disaster. So, during disaster, the vulnerable community becomes more vulnerable due to lack of the facility of safe water and
sanitation. Moreover, due to tidal flow, most of the areas in both unions get under water two times per day. And, that’s why;
installation of hygienic latrine and safe water option here is quite challenging. In Sayedpur union, on an average, 51 families have a
one safe water option. In Bhobanipur, there are 41 safe water options for 1125 households, whereas only 18 remain safe during
disaster. No way, the community can overcome the situation as the poor and hardcore poor are 87% of the total in the union.
Accordingly, the latrine coverage of both the union also is not satisfactory. In Bhobanipur, the latrine coverage is only 17.86%
according to the baseline survey conducted on June 2008. On the other hand, Charkholifa and Charpata unions are moderate in
terms of vulnerability. The situation is a bit better than that of the most vulnerable unions. The rate of poor and hardcore poor is
66.5% and 79.6% in Charkholifa and Charpata union respectively. On an average, 27 HHs and 23 HHs enjoy the facility of one safe
water option. But, the situation of latrine coverage (16.50% and 23.97% respectively) is quite dissatisfactory on the other hand.

Chilmari Upazilla, Kurigram

In Chilmari upazilla, there are six unions named by Ramna, Thanahat, Noyarhat,
Oshtomir Char, Ranigonj and Chilmari. As per the information of vulnerability mapping,
there are 24,699 households in the upazilla, out of which 7,500 and 10,799 are hardcore
poor and poor respectively. Oshtomir Char is the most vulnerable out of total six unions.
The poor and hardcore poor jointly cover 74% percent of total population. On an
average, around 150 households have only one safe water option (TW with platform).
Only 13 safe water options remain safe during disaster. The latrine coverage is 31%.
Only Noyarhat and Ramna unions are less vulnerable in the upazilla. On the other hand,
Ranigonj, Thanahat and Chilmari are moderately vulnerable in terms of the relevant
indicators.

In Ranigonj, Thanahat and Chilmari union, there are 5,227, 6,516 and 1,557 HHs respectively. The percentage of poor and hardcore
poor people is 76.98%, 75.70% and 81.95% accordingly. 87 and 62 families in Ranigonj and Chilmari union have only a one safe
water option respectively. Dramatically, only 30 and 23 TWs remain safe in both the union during disaster that makes the people
vulnerable severely. On the other hand, in Thanahat union, only 6.88 HHs have a safe water option and 592 TWs remain safe during
disaster. But, the river erosion of the Brohmaoputra has made the union one of the vulnerable. The latrine coverage also in
Ranigonj, Thanahat and Chilmari is 23.72%, 27.08% and 22.87% respectively. Only two unions, Noyarhat and Ramna are
comparatively less vulnerable in the upazilla. However, in Noyarhat, on an average, 90.96 HHs have a safe water option. Whereas,
13 HHs in Ramna union enjoy the facility of one safe water option on an average.
