| Abstract: | The Sundarbans, the world's largest contiguous mangrove ecosystem spanning India and Bangladesh, represents one of the most climate-vulnerable regions on Earth, facing intensifying flood hazards from tropical cyclones, storm surges, sea level rise and hydrological transformations. This research article provides a comprehensive analysis of flood vulnerability and disaster management frameworks in the Sundarbans region, synthesizing evidence from geospatial studies, community-based research and institutional assessments spanning the past two decades. The study reveals that the Indian Sundarbans Delta experiences significant physical flood susceptibility, with shoreline dynamics demonstrating gradual to severe changes due to fluctuating erosion and deposition patterns between 1990 and 2020. Multi-criteria decision-making analyses incorporating parameters including geomorphology, distance to water bodies, topographic wetness index and land use land cover identify Patharpratima's Surendranagar and Dhanchi as the most vulnerable areas, followed by moderately vulnerable Lothian. The frequency of cyclonic events has intensified markedly, with communities affected once every 17 months on average over the past 15 years, while 92% of households have experienced destruction of houses and crops, 88% have faced flood-related losses and 70% have lost homeland or farmland to riverbank erosion. Disaster management frameworks have evolved from reactive post-disaster responses toward more comprehensive approaches incorporating community-based disaster risk reduction, nature-based solutions including mangrove restoration achieving 95% survival rates in community-led initiatives and early warning system enhancements. However, significant gaps persist in institutional coordination, infrastructure adequacy and post-disaster trauma support. The study underscores the imperative for integrated, transboundary approaches combining scientific assessment, community knowledge and sustained investment to build resilience in this ecologically critical and culturally unique region. |
