    There are also a number of human causes for both floods. In Bangladesh, mass deforestation occurred to populate the increasing number of people. This means less interception from vegetation, increasing the amount of water entering the rivers. In contrast to this, urbanisation of Boscastle increased the likelihood of flooding.

    The flood was caused by many natural causes; Bangladesh is a very low lying country with 70% of its land area being less than 1m above sea level and 80% of it being flood plain. Bangladesh also had two major rivers running through it (the Ganges and Brahmaputra) this forms a huge delta, both rivers have large volumes of water flowing through them to the sea as they have large drainage basins this increases the flood risk. Bangladesh also has a monsoon climate and the annual torrential rains often results in the rivers overflowing and therefore flooding. The flood was also influenced by many human causes, including the increasing population. Deforestation was also a major cause as it is believed to be responsible for the increased soil erosion, and reducing channel capacity and therefore increasing the likelihood of flooding. Bangladesh is also a LEDC (less economically developed country) and its lack of money and heavy national debt means that little money is available to spend on flood protection methods/defenses.…

    Government and nongovernmental organizations must develop guidelines that illustrate a coordinated effort of various nations to supply the needed assistance for those affected by such disasters. Immediately supplying the affected population with necessities such as food, clothing, water, shelter, and medical treatment should be the primary objective, and all organizations should be encouraged to make donations. The destruction caused by the earthquake was horrendous, and what infrastructure that existed prior to the earthquake was badly damaged. Power supplies, naval ports, and roads were either destroyed or buried. The Government of Haiti does not possess the necessary capacity of resources or physical infrastructure capability to rebuild.
