7.4.1 Impacts <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Hazards <strong>on</strong> Sectors<br />

Table 7.9 shows loss <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Boro crop producti<strong>on</strong> by cycl<strong>on</strong>e, Storm Surge and Hail storm over the last 10 years. In<br />

2000 and 2004, wind based shocks affected Boro producti<strong>on</strong> in coastal districts and north-east regi<strong>on</strong> and<br />

caused 6.35% and 10.65% loss <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> producti<strong>on</strong> respectively. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>refore, the increasing trend <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> these hazards will<br />

eventually affect the Boro rice producti<strong>on</strong> more intensively in future.<br />

Usually Aus and Aman rice are affected by flood <strong>on</strong> a regular basis. In the year 1998 and 2004, two catastrophic<br />

floods occurred and damaged the Aus and Aman producti<strong>on</strong> significantly. Available data shows that Aus<br />

producti<strong>on</strong> was decreased by 14.53% and 9.12% in 1998 and 2004, respectively. While, Aman producti<strong>on</strong><br />

decreased by 10.70% and 8.86% in 1998 and 2004, respectively. <str<strong>on</strong>g>The</str<strong>on</strong>g>se two main crops are affected and damages<br />

are caused at different extents by flood almost every year. However, historical data <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> flood shows that intensity<br />

and frequency <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> severe flood is in increasing trend which reflects higher damage <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> these two main crops. Table<br />

7.10 to 7.12 shows loss <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> producti<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> Boro, Aus and Aman due to flood.<br />
