Bangladesh, located at the intersection of the Burma and Indian tectonic plates, is at high risk of a catastrophic earthquake. Scientists warn that a magnitude 8.2–9 quake could strike at any time, particularly threatening Dhaka, where nearly half of the buildings could face severe damage. Recent tremors have raised concerns over the nation’s limited preparedness. Experts call for strengthened earthquake-resistant urban planning, public awareness campaigns, and enhanced disaster management strategies to mitigate potential devastation.
