Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the functionality of disaster risk management at community level focusing on a disaster-prone haor region of Bangladesh. We conducted this study in a rural haor area of Bangladesh having a fragile ecosystem. The data were collected through focus group discussion (FGD) with union council members of Itna union, Kishoreganj, Bangladesh to reach the purpose of this study. The results clarified that the although the union council members are aware of the institutional responsibility in relation to the disaster risk management at community level, but their functionality is still weak. Therefore, our policy implications drawn from the research suggest that more attention should be paid to the capacity development of union council members through the development of human capital in the region.
