Abstract
The authors have analyzed “Standing Orders on Disaster”, which is the basic plan to implement the disaster management operations in Bangladesh, and compared it to actual operations performed during and just after the Cyclone Sidr in 2007. Information on actual operations were collected by the authors and researchers in Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) based on briefing papers at that time and field survey. The Orders were also sorted out by the categories of Basic Disaster Prevention Plan in Japan to figure out a framework of the Orders. Further, by using the framework, the authors have proposed a continual revision process of disaster management plan. [This abstract is not included in the PDF]
