- Abstract
Nepal is highly vulnerable to natural and human induced disasters. Complex geology, variable climatic conditions, active tectonic processes, rapid urbanization, unplanned settlements, lack of public awareness, increasing population, weak economic condition and low literacy rate have made her vulnerable to disasters. Therefore, advanced technology and adequate resources are needed to alleviate the disasters in Nepal. Training and other educational programmes are extremely needed to raise awareness. Nepal needs proactive Disaster Management Act and Policy for disaster risk reduction activities.
