Flood Preparedness Programme, a joint initiative of CDMP and BDPC, is planned to establish an early warning system and preparedness against flood. Although the programme is planned in line with Cyclone Preparedness Programme it is different in the sense that, apart from early warning system it focuses on preparedness too.

The project will be implemented by Ansar & VDP utilizing their structure with technical support from BDPC and financial support from CDMP. On 26 June, 2013 the first formal meeting of the programme was held at the conference room of CDMP and the second meeting was held on 6 October, 2013 at Ansar & VDP headquarters. The Flood Preparedness Programme has incorporated two major flood-prone districts from Northern region, Sirajganj and Gaibandha, for its pilot phase. The programme aims to help around 35 lac people living in 102 flood prone Unions of the above mentioned Districts.

A MoU signing ceremony will be held on 10 October, 2013 at the Ansar & VDP headquarters in presence of Major General Md. Nazimuddin, Director General of Ansar &VDP, Mr. M. A. Quyayyum, National Project Director CDMP and Mr. Muhammad Saidur Rahman, Director, Bangladesh Disaster Preparedness Centre.
