Cyclone Remal caused heavy rain and thunderstorms across coastal Bangladesh, leaving an estimated 800,000 people displaced from their homes when it made landfall on the midnight of 26 May.

Start Network aims for a locally-led humanitarian system, and the transition is already underway through the development of networks (known as ‘hubs’). Start Network hubs are collectives of local, national, and international organisations or humanitarian responders operating in the same country or region. Hubs come together through a vision of system change, to tackle the deep-rooted issues in humanitarian responses within their contexts. They are supported by the Global Start Network but ultimately, they control their resources and define their responses to crises affecting and threatening their communities.

FOREWARN Bangladesh, in association with Open Mapping Hub - Asia Pacific, is running the first-ever disaster hackathon in Bangladesh. It has announced its top 8 teams from across public, private, and international universities.
