Abstract:

"Bangladesh is peculiarly vulnerable to cyclones and seasonal flooding. Making extensive use of graphics, this program explains why. To understand the true impact of the floods, the program takes a close look at the more than 200,000 people who live on the island of Moheshkhali, which is on average barely 20 inches above sea level. Why do its inhabitants live there? How do they make a living? What is life like living with so much vulnerability to flooding?"
