Bangladesh is one of the most disaster prone countries in the world.
It is a low-lying deltaic country,which is situated in South Asia, is formed by the Ganges,
the Brahmaputra and the Meghna rivers.The study area is Dhaka-Narayanganj-
Demra (DND) Project. The area is about 56.79 sq. km and about
800,000 people are living here. During 1998 flood, there was over topping and brae chin of embankment. At that time BWDB was able to stop much inundation by doing emergency work. Still many people are building their houses and factories in low lying area. The housing companies have acquired cheap land in flood plains and developed residential colonies there, which are very vulnerable flooding. Due to global warming, intensity and magnitude of different disasters are increasing.Hence, there is a need to have a decision support system for the planners and developers.
