Natural calamity means natural disaster caused by nature. Bangladesh is a land of natural
calamities. These calamities are flood, cyclone, earthquake, tidal bores, excessive rainfall,
drought, river erosion, and earthquake. Almost all of these natural calamities visit Bangladesh
every year, and we count a heavy loss every year owing to these natural calamities. There are
some causes behind these natural calamities. Environmental pollution, climate change, global
warming, greenhouse effect, deforestation lack of plans etc. are responsible for these natural
calamities. The effects of natural calamities are dangerous. They cause a great loss to our life and
properties. Many people suffer untold sufferings. They become homeless and helpless. Houses
are destroyed, cattle are washed away, crops are greatly damaged and trees are uprooted. The
prices of all essentials go up. Famine breaks out. Thousands of people and animals die for want
of food. Many dangerous diseases like cholera, typhoid, diarrhea and dysentery break out in an
epidemic form. The educational institutions are closed down for a long time. In a word the whole
nation undergoes extreme sufferings and socio-economic pressure. Though we cannot prevent
natural disasters as we have no hand in nature, we can reduce the damage caused by natural
calamities. The government as well as the conscious citizens should come forward to raise public
awareness to reduce the losses caused by natural calamities.
