Summary
This chapter explores why, in the wake of similar exposure to cyclones, Myanmar experienced catastrophic outcomes in 2008 while Bangladesh and India did not when exposed to similar cyclone risks in the 2010s. I also makes use of within-case analysis to compare Bangladesh and India to themselves in the past when they experienced worse humanitarian outcomes after exposure to severe cyclones.
