Ensuring university research feeds into policy and practice is key to reducing disaster risk reduction. DECCMA is building evidence on how climate change is affecting deltas, how people are adapting to these changes, and the role of migration.<\/p>\n

In Bangladesh the Institute for Water and Flood Management (IWFM) at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology is participating in a platform\u00a0to bring together research and knowledge generated by universities to strengthen capacity for improved water management and disaster risk reduction. This sits under the project \u201cResearch on Disaster Prevention \/ Mitigation measures against Flood and Storm Surges in Bangladesh\u201d (SATREPS).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As part of its efforts to disseminate research findings, IWFM organized a University Networking workshop in\u00a0August 2017 to present five training modules developed under the SATREPS project with the aim of building capacity at the field level. The five modules discussed topics relating to flood management and disaster risk reduction:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Evolution of flood management policy and planning<\/li>\n
  2. Evaluating resilience against flood disaster<\/li>\n
  3. Learning from experience of NGOs in disaster management<\/li>\n
  4. Review of measures for river flood management in Bangladesh<\/li>\n
  5. Flash flood risk management using information and communication technologies in Bangladesh<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The workshop was attended by researchers from 19 universities in Bangladesh and further afield. DECCMA Bangladesh PI, Prof. Munsur Rahman, outlined findings from DECCMA. He also called for joint action-oriented research with emphasis on governance to reduce disaster risk among vulnerable delta populations.<\/p>\n

    Following from this successful workshop, another will be planned to further disseminate DECCMA research findings on vulnerability hotspots and adaptation. This will likely take place at Potuakahi University of Science and Technology, and further details will be available on the DECCMA website when a date has been finalised.<\/p>\n
