Disaster Risks and Vulnerabilities in Nepal
Natural• – Earthquake• – Flood and landslides• – Windstorms, Hailstorms, thunderbolts• – Droughts• – EpidemicsHuman‐induced• – Fire• – Landslides• – Industrial accidents• – Road accidents etc.
What Next ? What is the immediate Response ?
DISASTER
1) RESCUE First2) Medical Treatment (First Aid)3) Food / Water4) Shelter / Temporary Shelter
Contingency Plan Based on Cluster Approach :
Introduced by UN Inter‐Agency Standing Committee (IASC) in 2005 to enhance humanitarian action during emergencies and respond to them in coherent, effective and coordinated manner.
Cluster Identified• Health and Nutrition• Water and sanitation• Education• Protection• Logistics• Emergency Shelter etc.
CONTENGENCY PLANNING
SHELTER CLUSTEROverall Objectives
To provide basic/minimal necessity shelter to
homeless due to Disaster.Specific Objectives
Provide Temporary Emergency Shelter to homelessProvide survival Shelter kits
Salient features of Contingency Plan (Shelter):B. Types of Shelter:• Accommodation with host families• Shelter in public buildings• Open Space• Shelter at reconstructed houses• Plastic sheeting, tarpaulin and tentsC. Shelter kit: (Tarpaulin Sheet, Floor mat, Blanket, Plastic rope, Mosquito net, Bamboo, G.I. Wire etc.

Emergency Response Activitiesfor Shelter Cluster
• Gather /Communicate in a Pre determined places (Shelter Cluster Members)
• Activate Contingency Planning for implementation
• Collect info from Rapid Assessment Team on existing situation (Identify the IDP).
• Mobilize DMCs (Community/Local/ NRCS network etc)
• Collection/Distribution of Shelter Kits
• Installation of Shelter Kits
• Damage and Need Assessment
DUDBC initiatives concerning Koshi Flood• Cost estimation of emergency and intermediate shelter kits at NRs. 6388 and 17340 per kit respectively
• Need assessment of shelter kin for about 12000 families
• Activities and cost required to accommodate 12000 families.

Project Design
The program is designed in the context of the International Recovery Platform (IRP) for the fulfillment of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA) 2005‐2015: (World Conference on Disaster Reduction : Jan. 2005 Kobe, Japan)
Project InitiationUNDP/BCPR (Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery) with the support of Government of Japan initiated "Earthquake Risk Reduction and Recovery Preparedness (ERRRP) program" in Five High Risk South Asian countries :
1. Nepal 2. Bhutan 3. Bangladesh 4. India 5. Pakistan
Project is Design for 5 South Asian Countries

1. Northern edge of Indiansubcontinent has been sliding beneath theHimalayas for mil. Years. Requires EQ to happen
2. 4 m of potential slip accumulated every 200 years @ 2 cm/yr
3. This potential slip as elastic strain
4. <45% of Himalayan arc ruptured in major EQ in last 200 years
5. Average slip : few m to 10 m during large EQ

PLANNED ACTIVITIES
1. Earthquake risk, vulnerability and capacity assessment conducted in the project areas
2. Capacities of government institutions and communities enhanced to adapt and implement earthquake preparedness planning and safe construction practice
3.Capacity of the government strengthened in disaster recovery preparedness : Postponed for next year
4.Capacities of the government developed to implement locally appropriate solutions for earthquake risk reduction
1. Earthquake risk, vulnerability and capacity assessment conducted in the project areas, especially from gender and poverty perspective, to support the government and communities
• Assessment of program municipalities in terms of Earthquake Risk and vulnerability and Prepare Municipal Profile of five programme municipalities
• Preparation of Seismic Vulnerability Evaluation Guideline for Private and Public Building (For pre disaster vulnerability and post disaster damage assessment)
2. Capacities of government institutions and communities enhanced to adapt and implement earthquake preparedness planning and safe construction practice
• Training on earthquake resistant construction for institutional professionals, municipal engineers, masons, supervisors etc. i:e Supervisor Training –Biratnagar (33 supervisor were trained); Training on Structural Analysis and Earthquake Resistance Design of Buildings using SAP 2000 – Pokhara, ; Mason Training – Hetauda and Dhangadh ; NBC Training ‐Surkhet (As per training need assessment)
• Sensitized program on Earthquake Risk Reduction organized in five program municipalities (650 Nos)
3. Communities are made aware of seismic safe construction through demonstration with demonstrative construction of new and strengthening of existing building stock

Status of Nepal National Building code : Chronological OrderStatus of Nepal National Building code : Chronological Order
Activities: Initiatives of DUDBC in Earthquake Risk ReductionDUDBC is enforcing the National Building code in all governmental buildings and
at the same time it is also enforcing the code in the private buildings through municipalities. DUDBC disseminates NBC nation wideDifferent training programs had been organized : More than 350 Nos. of
Engineer/ Architects and more than 450 nos. of sub engineer had been trained how to use of NBCDUDBC has prepared building constructing Guidelines in simple Nepali language
based on NBC. DUDBC trained more than 7500 masons all over the country for earthquakes safe building construction.Organized various symposium, workshops about use of NBC. Also established
hoarding boards in different parts in Kathmandu and outside the valley also.]Published various poster, pamphlets, booklets, hording boards about NBC,
shake Table Demonstration in different regions of the country.Retrofitting of existing vulnerable Government buildings (Hospital, school and
other public buildings). Recently DUDBC is implanting Retrofitting work for Fee clinic at Chhetrapati, Kathmandu.In an attempt towards dissemination NBC, DUDBC is actively involved in organizing earthquake safety day every year on 2nd Magh.
