The Government envisaged establishing a trained, competent and well-equipped unit to respond to the critical gap in the management of disaster risk in Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Urban Resilience Project (URP) represents the second phase of a multi-phase national Disaster and Risk Management (DRM) program to build institutional capacity to mitigate the impact of earthquakes in the rapidly urbanizing cities of Bangladesh.
