World Bank·January 21, 2025
Description
Recurrent cyclonic storms in the Bay of Bengal inflict massive losses on the coastal regions of Bangladesh and India. Information on occurrences and severities of cyclones is necessary for understanding household and community responses to cyclone risks. The authors constructed a georeferenced panel database that can be used to obtain such information for Bangladesh, West Bengal, and Odisha. The database was constructed from the following sources including: the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the IBTrACS database maintained by the Global Data Center for Meteorology, operated by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
