What are the nature and magnitude of the environmental features of Bangladesh's deltaic plains and floodplains? How do the events associated with these environmental features pose threats to human lives and resources? Answers to these questions are fundamental to understanding the nature of environmental hazards, and requires us to unravel the dimensions of physical exposure. Specifically, since the range of environmental events and their statistical variability profoundly affect the ability of humans to cope with potential threats and actual disastrous events, the assessment of physical dynamics is an utmost necessity.
