#Bangladesh is bracing for #CycloneMocha. The severe cyclonic storm is expected to cause tidal surges that will wash away coastal villages, submerge island communities and put the #Rohingya camp at risk. #BRAC is on the ground supporting the most vulnerable.
It's all hands on deck as we support our @MyanmarRedCross staff & volunteers on the ground in boosting awareness on preparedness and evacuation, if necessary, in the communities located along the path of #CycloneMocha , alongside mobilizing resources for response
