Cyclone Amphan: rebuilding a sense of home
A look back at HMBD’s shelter and emergency support for coastal families affected by Cyclone Amphan in 2020.
After the cyclone
Cyclone Amphan affected coastal communities in 2020. HMBD’s response included emergency assistance and shelter rebuilding for families in Shyamnagar, Satkhira. This story looks back at that documented recovery work.
Rebuilding homes
The HMBD portfolio reports 260 homes rebuilt through the shelter program following Cyclone Amphan. The photograph shows community members working on a home as part of the recovery effort.
A home is connected to daily routines, security and family life. Shelter support addresses a practical need while people work towards a more stable future after a disaster.
From relief towards recovery
Emergency response and longer-term recovery are closely connected. The Amphan story illustrates HMBD’s work across these stages, bringing immediate support together with the rebuilding of safe housing.
