Abstract:
Barguna is a district in Bangladesh known for its abundant natural resources, yet it is also susceptible to natural calamities. Annual natural disasters result in significant devastation in this region. The increase in disasters is mostly due to the negligence and lack of knowledge among the general population. The government is providing crucial assistance and resources to handle the situation, regardless of the fluctuating severity of the calamity. Assessing individuals' acceptance is challenging. This is a crucial matter. Utilizing indigenous coping mechanisms can be advantageous in this scenario. The study analyzes the viewpoints of the local population toward natural disasters, challenges, and the present crises. An attempt has been made to clarify the current dire position in comparison to the past. The local coping methods are thoroughly analyzed. Our findings will lay the groundwork for future research aimed at developing a sustainable and resilient disaster response system. This device will alert people and protect the area from calamities caused by human actions. The study highlights the importance of education and knowledge about environmental and catastrophe management. Enforcing these steps will ensure that the next generation is properly prepared with the necessary information and procedures to handle disasters. In the end, the occurrence of natural disasters will diminish, and individuals will be better equipped to handle the aftermath of these catastrophes. Reducing the harm will protect the country from financial losses.
