Emergency Response

Standing with coastal families when disaster strikes

When cyclones, floods, or tidal surges hit the coastal belt of Khulna, CSSD responds quickly with practical relief — and stays with families through recovery and rebuilding.

Why It Matters

Life on the coastal frontline is fragile

Paikgacha and the surrounding coastal areas of Khulna face repeated cyclones, flooding, riverbank erosion, and rising salinity. A single storm can wash away homes, crops, and years of hard-won progress. For families living on the edge, fast and well-organized emergency support is often the difference between recovery and long-term crisis.

When Disaster Strikes

What CSSD does in an emergency

Because we live and work in these communities, we can reach affected families quickly with support that matches real needs on the ground.

Dry Food & Safe Water

Emergency food packages and safe drinking water for flood and cyclone affected families in the first critical days.

Hygiene & Medical Support

Hygiene kits, first aid, and health referrals that help prevent illness when water sources are contaminated.

Shelter & Warm Clothing

Tarpaulins, blankets, and warm clothes for families whose homes have been damaged or lost.

Home & Garden Recovery

Support to repair homes, restore kitchen gardens, and replant crops after saline water recedes.

Livelihood Restart

Practical help so families can return to earning — seeds, tools, and small productive assets.

Preparedness & Awareness

Community awareness on early warnings, safe shelter, and protecting children during disasters.

How We Respond

From first alert to full recovery

1. Assess

Local staff and volunteers identify the most affected families and their most urgent needs.

2. Respond

Relief reaches affected households directly — food, water, hygiene, and shelter support.

3. Recover

We stay with families through repair, replanting, and livelihood recovery in the months that follow.
