Abstract

In May 1985, a cyclone and tidal surge devastated Sandwip, an island off the Southern Corner of Bangladesh. Within one week after this disaster a cholera epidemic broke out. It resulted in 12,194 registered cases and 51 deaths. The factors contributing to the occurrence of the epidemic are analyzed.
