Cyclone Bijli

Cyclone Bijli has hit land in Bangladesh as a category 1 storm. BRAC is currently monitoring Cyclone Bijli and all teams are prepared to respond. We have been coordinating closely with the Bangladeshi government and will continue to track the progress of the Cyclone.


When Cyclone Sidr devastated parts of Bangladesh in 2007, BRAC immediately launched its emergency relief program which involved 2,537 villages in the 60 worst affected upazilas across 11 districts of Bangladesh. More than 2,500 BRAC staff and 13 medical teams were engaged in providing around-the-clock relief and medical care to the victims.
