A study has been conducted with the objective to assess the existing early flood warning dissemination system (EFWDS) in Bangladesh and to suggest the suitable improvements in the same system based on review of literature, interaction with stakeholders of various organisations involved in flood forecasting and dissemination, and analysis of feedback from the flood-affected people of Dhobaura and Shibalaya subdistricts in Bangladesh. The existing set-up has been studied to assess the present activities and future expectations. The recommendation for active participation by all related organisations has been made in this study. Two studies have been conducted by surveying the opinion of flood vulnerable communities so that all elements of the EFWDS would provide useful flood warnings to all potential users.
