Bangladesh is frequently affected by earthquakes. The German Development Cooperation supports Bangladesh in considering the possible effects of these risks by strengthening geoscience capacities for urban planning.

Together with experts of the Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB), the Head of German Development Cooperation in Bangladesh, Florian Höllen of the German Embassy, was conducting tests with earthquake hazard-related PS Log machine on September 23, 2023.

Germany provided the machine through the Technical Cooperation Project ‘Geo-Information for Urban Planning and Adaptation to Climate Change’ implemented by BGR (Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources) and GSB.

The PS Log machine will contribute to a safer and more resilient urban development in Bangladesh by providing quality assured geo-information.
