Bangladesh is currently hosting more than one million stateless Rohingya
refugees, who fled from the Rakhine State to avoid genocide and serious crimes
against humanity persecuted by the Myanmar Army. The newly arrived Rohingyas were
accommodated in overcrowded refugee camps in Cox's Bazar District (CBD). The
camps are highly vulnerable to landslides, tropical cyclones, flash-flooding, and
communicable disease outbreak. Although a number of improvement measures are
ongoing, however, no study to date has addressed Rohingyas' self-adopted
strategies to mitigate disaster risks. Consequently, this paper aims to explore
how refugees cope with risks associated with environmental hazards in the
Kutupalong Rohingya Camp in CBD. A mixed-methods research strategy incorporating
both quantitative household questionnaire survey and qualitative focus group
discussions (FGDs) techniques were applied. In total 250 Rohingya refugees were
selected for the questionnaire survey using a stratified random sampling method
from camps 17 and 19, and two FGDs (male and female-only) were carried out in
camp 13 involving 21 Rohingya participants. Results derived from the study show
that responding to early warning systems, storing dried food and medicine,
utilising available resources, relocating to safer shelters, and keeping hopes
high were some of the coping strategies practised by the respondents. Literacy
level imposed a significant impact over respondents' perception to accept various
measures. For instance, the probability of storing dried food in preparation for
disasters was 4 times higher among literate Rohingya compared to their illiterate
counterparts. Similarly, for literate respondents, the probability was 20 times
higher to store medicine than for illiterate. Guaranteed distribution of shelter
strengthening kits among all refugee households, the inclusion of disaster risk
awareness and preparedness training, ensuring safe and dignified return in
Myanmar, and global and regional cooperation to address the refugee crisis are
some of the propositions recommended in this study for improving Rohingyas'
future adaptation strategies in a humanitarian context.
