Club Activities:
With a vision to build resilience against disaster and promote sustainability that’s concerned with climate change issues, Climate and Disaster Resilience Club started its journey from August 26th, 2017 at Department of Disaster Science and Management, University of Dhaka. It’s a voluntary organization run by students to create skilled, trained and erudite pupils who play a vital role towards disaster-resilient & sustainable future. The Club frequently organizes Research Poster Presentation Events and students of different batches disseminate their research results and findings. One of the biggest events that took place was DRR Exposure & Opportunities 2019. It was an event organized by the department, supported by the club and funded by AGU.
The club has a Facebook page which shares vast information on any disaster taking place in Bangladesh, the alerts issued by concerned governmental organizations are shared through this page.
However, during Covid-19 pandemic and instant lockdown the volunteers participated in social activities on their own initiative in the community and effectively worked online for publishing the very first volume of “Altruist”. Also, information generation sessions were conducted via zoom platform.
