The present study is to know the role of organizations and make an assessment on their assistance regarding preparedness and emergency response of flood disaster affected people. This study has used a mixed-method approach. Flood-affected people were the respondents to evaluate the organizational role. The study reveals that before the flood in 2017 to minimize the loss and damages, the GOs play a very effective role concerning the arrangement of preparatory meetings and preparing shelter centers, and NGOs play a very useful role in making arrangements for awareness-building training. During the emergency period, the GOs played a comparatively better role in providing CI sheets, agricultural assistance and cash money as relief for establishing housing facilities and emergency support. The NGOs played relatively a better role in providing food, water, clothes, medicine, etc. This study put forward complications such as limited sanctions, disruption of communication, lack of awareness of sufferers, and overlapping. The findings of this study would be a significant for the disaster policymakers, and civil societies. Keywords: Organizations (GOs & NGOs); Flood Disaster; Preparedness; Emergency Response; Bangladesh

“…Among the ood-prone areas of Bangladesh, Char land (Island) is the most susceptible to frequent ood, and the dwellers of these places are the supreme vulnerable. There is an estimation that approximately 4-5% of the population in Bangladesh lives in the char's land which covers almost 7200km 2 (Kelly & Chowdhury, 2002;Mondal, Rahman, Mukherjee, Huq, & Rahman, 2015; S. Paul & Islam, 2015). At least 58 major oods hit in Bangladesh from 1954 to 2017, and 20,039 people died and also millions of people affected owing to catastrophic ood throughout the last 47 years (1970-2017) (Relief, 2013).…”

“…Basically, it is unplanned land and it formed within 2-3 years [6]. There are 56 big and 226 small char have in Bangladesh [7] where 4-5% of people live in this place [8,9]. Most of the char in Bangladesh, the inhabitants have very few economic possessions, a very weak agricultural-based economy, where people mainly engaged share-cropping, low paid irregular agricultural day labor and livestock rearing are core sources of income for the stranded poor household [10].…”

“…Living with floods and fighting against floods is a part and parcel of the life of char inhabitants. This is why migration is a common phenomenon for the char dwellers from one char to another char, and this process happened once in the lifetime of the most char dwellers [8]. These kinds of phenomena are continuous processes in the char regions.…”

This study seeks to investigate the livelihood patterns of the climate-induced people migrated by the flood in 2017 in the char areas. At the same time, examines a number of outcomes i.e. causes of displacement, demographic and socio-economic conditions of the affected people and the opportunities to obtain the local public services. A triangulation approach has been employed, where respectably qualitative and quantitative data have been obtained through focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, participant observation and a household questionnaire survey. The data have been collected from three unions of two Upazila (sub-district) in the Gaibandha district. The results reveal that the flood-affected displaced people were migrated to the close at hand places owing to their economic vulnerability, damage of physical properties. And they were suffering adequately for their joblessness, scarcity of housing, health issues, and lower opportunities to the local civic amenities. The exploratory findings would be a crucial thoughtfulness for the disaster policymakers, managers, and civil societies.
