Geo-spatial based cyclone shelter suitability assessment using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) in the coastal region of Bangladesh.

The coastal district of Bangladesh is susceptible to cyclones, which cause significant damage to infrastructure, economy, and social structures every year. The importance of protecting lives and property in these vulnerable areas is a top priority, especially in times of cyclones and storm surges. Therefore, the identification of potentially suitable shelter locations is essential for disaster risk resilience planning and implementation in the coastal regions.
