This research deals with the problems encountered by stakeholders in different sectors attempting to meet the needs of natural disaster affected people in Bangladesh. The work was set when disasters in Bangladesh used to be handled without a coordinated disaster management effort and gradually developed having various policies and laws aimed at mitigating disaster risks and vulnerabilities. This study is descriptive in nature. The subject has been approached using quantitative and qualitative research methods, including personal engagement in disaster zones. In the quantitative section, social survey method was followed. In the qualitative section, technical investigation survey, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Case Study was applied to gain vital information and an in-depth understanding. The present study mainly incorporates Crunch model and Pressure and Release Model in explaining the mitigation strategies as well as the DRR intervention process. Findings included the three resistance factors occupying the most significant position to be: magnitude of disaster (risk and vulnerability); the state of disaster management actors both in formal and informal sectors; and DRR interventions in southwest Bangladesh. Any DRR interventions must also include these five factors: physical assets, environmental protection, livelihood, Water and Sanitation and training and awareness. For any DRR interventions to be successful, stakeholders should concentrate on the social structure and various socio-cultural factors like religious perceptions, social values, village politics, and dominance of local leaders and so on. This research seeks to address an identifiable problem that has not been previously examined sociologically, while also offering suggestions regarding the scope for further research on Disaster Risk Reduction interventions.
