<p>The UK closely monitored Cyclone Fani as it advanced towards and hit both India
and Bangladesh. Using existing crisis mechanisms, both countries’ governments have
led on the preparedness and response. The UK has not received any formal requests
for support from either Government.</p><p> </p><p>No discussions have been held between
the International Development Secretary and the Government of Bangladesh in response
to this situation. The DFID Bangladesh team was, however, in close contact with the
Government during and immediately following Cyclone Fani. Given the Government response
and the limited impact of the cyclone in Bangladesh, the Government did not seek funding
or other help from DFID.</p>
