Layered response in Bangladesh: Cyclone Remal
A severe cyclonic storm struck the western coast, bringing flooding and high winds that destroyed homes, infrastructure, farmland and fisheries. Support reached 91,600 people ahead of, during and immediately after the cyclone — the clearest illustration to date of anticipatory and response funding working as one layered mechanism.
