The community cannot cope with the existing risk of disasters alongside new and unpredictable hazards are driving them more vulnerable. Cyclone Sidr and Aila have destroyed the land fertility and water salinity had been increased due to the thermal expansion. Sea level rising covered more area in saline intrusion. After life there agricultures are most vulnerable. The agriculture productions are reducing day by day. They have great challenge also adopting new agriculture and livelihood.
