Research Abstract

Two major research achievements through this project are : 1) a detailed study of ground response analysis in Kathmandu Valley of Nepal using microtremor survey and 2) landslide mapping and hazard assessment in Lesser Himalayan mountains of central Nepal. Additionally, in the three years of research period, initiatives have been taken towards adopting school disaster education in Primary and Secondary schools of Nepal along with organization of regular professional meetings to discuss various aspects of disaster management through school disaster education. Moreover, a network of disaster professionals and policy makers not only in Nepal but also in the South Asian nations through the SAARC(South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) Disaster Management Center(SDMC) is in building process, which can be expected to integrate the disaster management issues, particularly in the field of rainfall-and earthquake-induced disasters in the whole Himalayan Region.
