This chapter analyses how extreme weather events have increased the vulnerability of older people in the study villages. The coastal region of Bangladesh is vulnerable to extreme weather events - cyclones, floods, tidal waves and soil erosion. The coastal population of Bangladesh also faces various forms of extreme weather events simultaneously, which cause heightened vulnerability (Paul & Rashid, 2016). The major extreme weather events in the study area include strong cyclones, floods, erosion of riverbanks, hot summers, bitter winters and tidal surges. Some elderly residents reported that bitter winter weather was worse now than in the past. Others observed that summer was getting hotter by the day. Extreme weather events have a negative impact on the vulnerability of older people in the coastal areas of Bangladesh. Strong winds and floods have destroyed their houses, roads, bridges and other facilities. Electricity and communication links were disrupted, and highways and rivers were impassable. Drinking water was contaminated by waste and salty water from the floods. In 2007, for example, cyclone SIDR caused significant damage to infrastructure and assets, as well as lost production worth BDT 30.2 billion (US$ 438 million), 95% of which occurred in the affected coastal areas of Bangladesh (GoB, 2008).
