Although extremely unpredictable, earthquakes are a reality we must be prepared for.
Two earthquakes with epicentres very close to Dhaka jolted the capital in a span of just 11 days, raising concerns among leading experts about more quakes and the country’s preparedness.
Among the list of inevitable incidents, natural disaster holds the top list. That being said, Dhaka, one of the world's most densely populated cities, has been ranked in the top 20 cities most vulnerable to earthquakes. In addition to the current level of unplanned urbanisation along with the non-adherence to the National Building Code, Dhaka is a ticking bomb in the wake of an earthquake. In times like these, as responsible individuals, it is our responsibility to know what to do before, during and after these disasters.
A 5.1 magnitude earthquake jolted Dhaka and some other parts of the country this afternoon.
A 5.3-magnitude earthquake shook the capital and some other parts of the country yesterday.
