Dhaka Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) Project

“Dhaka Earthquake and Emergency Preparedness (DEEP) Project” is a consortium initiative of German Red Cross (GRC), Christian Aid Bangladesh and Action Against Hunger/Action Contre La Faim (ACF) implementing through Bangladesh Red Crescent Society (BDRCS). International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and American Red Cross are supporting with the technical input. The DEEP project is underway in 15 urban wards of Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC). The European Commission Directorate General for Humanitarian Affairs and Civil Protection -ECHO providing financial support by aiming to increase residents’ awareness of earthquake and emergency preparedness.

Earthquake is one of the natural hazards that offers little room of forecast and evacuation. Only awareness and adequate preparedness can reduce its risk and impact on people. Bangladesh is in a risk of devastating earthquake impacts because of unplanned and increasing rates of urbanization, lack of awareness, dense population and inadequate space for evacuation and other factors. Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is a home to around 16 million people which is particularly vulnerable to earthquake because of its rapid growth as urban, poor urban planning i.e. poorly constructed structures, frequently internal displacement, poverty, lack of knowledge on Disaster Preparedness and Response, skill and resources and others. Experts have long stressed the need to take necessary steps to prepare the city and its people for facing any incident of earthquake. DEEP has developed a media campaign strategy based on an assessment and now is going to implement to strengthen the capacity of people through mass awareness and preparedness towards earthquake and other urban hazards.

Christian Aid along with DEEP consortium partners is looking for a suitable individual/ consultant farm for facilitating the implementation of Media Campaign Strategy for effective mass awareness and preparedness on earthquake and other urban hazards.
