1.1 status of Disaster risk

The average distance from the great Himalaya range in the north to the plain

Terai in the South of Nepal is 170 kM. Within this short distance, Nepalese

people are facing various types of dangerous hazards due to diverse

geographical condition despite being rich in natural diversity. Since, Nepal

is at risk from different disasters due to natural hazards, every year, in average

more than 500 various disastrous incidents occur resulting loss of physical

infrastructures and human life and affecting livelihoods. In last 45 years

(1971 to 2015), more than 40,000 people have lost their life due to disasters.

This number is more than two persons losing life every day. In addition to

the high rate of casualties in the above-mentioned period, more than 75,000

people have been injured and about 3,000,000 have been affected. These

disasters have become severe burden to the people and the community all

over Nepal. In majority of the districts of Nepal, disasters occur recurrently,

where more than 90 % of the populations are in at high-risk of death due to

two or more than two types of disasters.

Among the major disasters, non-natural disasters are like epidemics,

droughts, forest fire, insect and micro-organism havoc, animal and bird

influenza, pandemic flu, snake bite, animal terror, mines, air, roads or industrial

accidents, fire, poisonous gas, chemical or radiation leakage, gas explosion,

consumption of poisonous food, environmental pollution, deforestation or

physical infrastructure damage and accident during rescue and natural

disasters are like snowstorm, hailstorm, avalanche, glacial lake outburst,

heavy rainfall, famine, flood, landslide, inundation, droughts, windstorm, cold

wave, heat wave, thunderbolt, earthquake, volcanic eruption, forest fire etc.


Nepal has been ranked in 11th position as the most risk prone country in

the world in terms of earthquake, and 30th position in terms of flood and

landslide. In addition, due to the increasing development process, Nepal has

been facing non-natural disasters like environment pollution, deforestation,

dam and embankment bursts, bridge collapse, mines, air, roads, water and

industrial accidents.

During monsoon, various types of geophysical and climatic hazards occur

nationwide because of geologically dynamic Himalayan range, steep

topography, and fragile geographical structure. About 83% of Nepal lies

in hill and mountain regions and 17% in the plain Terai. Hilly region is at

risk of landslide and soil erosion whereas Chure and the Terai are at risk of

flood, droughts, fire and epidemics. Himalayan region is at risk of avalanche

and glacial lake outburst. All Nepal being in very active seismic zone, the

mountain and Himalayan settlements are at high risk of earthquake. Besides

these disasters, other human induced disasters also occur in the country.

The major hazards causing disasters are the following.

1.1.1 road accidents

With the increasing trend of urbanization and expansion of road networks,

the Road Accidents are increasing every year. The major causes of road

accidents are negligence of the driver, drunk driving, high-speed driving,

recklessness of pedestrians, unsystematic parking, poor road-crossing

system, narrow roads, slopped roads, poor drainage and poor visibility at

the bends.

According to the WHO report of 2014, the mortality rate by road accidents is

3.18 % of the total mortality rate. Adjusting this mortality rate with the mortality

rate of different age group, it becomes 22.32 people in 100,000 people.

Based on mortality rate caused by Roads Accident, Nepal has been ranked


in 50th country of the world. Assessing the data from 2001 till the date, the

mortality rate by the Roads Accident is increasing. As per last five years

data, every year about 10,000 Road Accidents occur in Nepal. Because of

this, about 1,889 people lose their life whereas 13,000 get injured every year.

Analysis of these data shows that per day 27 accident and death of more

than 5 people occur in Nepal. Due to Road Accidents only, about 0.8 % of

the total GDP is lost every year.

1.1.2 epidemics

The people and the communities of Nepal are very insecure by the epidemic

hazards. Many people lose their life because of the infectious diseases born

out of water, insects, and micro-organisms. From 1971 to 2015, 16,564

people have lost their lives due to epidemics. Diarrhea, malaria, measles,

hepatitis, influenza, typhoid, asthma, cholera, sexually transmitted disease,

tuberculosis and leprosy are the common infectious diseases in Nepal.

From March to August 2008, the Mid-Western and Far-Western regions of

Nepal were affected by diarrhea. About 282 persons lost their life. 19 districts

were affected by the diarrhea. In Jajarkot district alone, 12,500 people were

affected and 128 people lost their lives. Likewise, 46 people lost their life in

Rukum district.

In January 2008, influenza (Bird Flu) was noticed in Nepal for the first time. The

virus affected the poultry farm in kakarbhitta, located in Jhapa district. 28,000

chickens of that area were killed to control the virus. Recently, influenza virus

has been found spread in kathmandu Valley, Chitwan, kabhre, Hetauda, and

in the other parts of the country. In addition, every year hundreds of people

are facing a situation of losing their life due to epidemics in some parts of

Nepal. It is necessary to develop a surveillance system for regular monitoring

of epidemics including influenza virus that impact animal and human health.


1.1.3 earthquake

Nepal is located on an active seismic belt. There are three main fault lines in

Nepal which include the main central thrust on the base of Higher Himalaya

adjoining the Middle Mountains south of Himalaya, the main boundary

thrust at the confluence of Siwalik and Lesser Himalaya and the Himalaya

Frontal Fault in the south of Siwalik. Every fault line is active from the east

to the west, and therefore, the earthquakes of high and low intensity occur

in Nepal. Geologists have the opinion that these fault lines are created due

to the movement or sudden thrust of Indian plate diving underneath to the

Eurasian plate.

Indian plate is moving 20 millimeters to the north every year and the lower

part of Tibet (Southern border of Eurasia) collides with Asian plate, as a result

the required energy is generated to push the Himalaya to the uppermost

which causes the region to be the most unstable all over the world. The

measurement, using geostationary satellites by global positioning system

shows that the Himalaya, located at the middle of Nepal east of kathmandu,

is increasing by 7±2 millimeter every year. Therefore, in Nepal, earthquakes

of larger intensity had occurred in AD 1255, 1410, 1505, 1555, 1803, 1833,

1897, 1905, 1934, 1950, 2005, and 2015.

The April 25, 2015 Gorkha earthquake with the magnitude of 7.6 Richter scale

caused great loss of human life and property. Subsequently, 7.3 Richter scale

large aftershock centered around Sindhupalchok on May 12, 2015 along

with other continuous small aftershocks increased additional loss of life and

property. The earthquake created other disasters like avalanche, landslides

and road blockage. 31 districts of Nepal had been impacted and 14 were

declared as the most affected districts. Due to that earthquake, many

settlements became risky to inhabit whereas historical areas and heritage

sites of kathmandu valley were destroyed.


8979 people lost their life and more than 22, 300 people were injured due

to the earthquake. At least 498,852 private houses and 2,656 government

buildings had been destroyed. Similarly, 256,697 private houses and 3,622

Government buildings were partially damaged. Besides this, more than

19,000 class rooms were damaged completely and more than 11, 000

classrooms were partially damaged.

1.1.4 landslide

Since 1971 to 2015, 4,832 people have lost their life due to landslide in Nepal.

There was a great loss of life and property in the eastern and central part of

Nepal due to flood and landslide in B.S. 2050. More than 2000 landslides of

small and large scale occurred in the highway and slopped hill. The inactive

old landslide also became active. 42,995 hectares of agricultural land had

been affected by heavy rain fall, landslide and flood. Many Irrigation system,

highway, bridges and other physical infrastructures had been affected. The

total estimated damage was about 5,000 million Nepalese rupees. 1,170

people lost their life and 500,000 were affected.

The highways like Prithvi, Arniko, Butwal - Pokhara and Narayangadh -

Mugling including other important highways of Hilly area are facing landslides

continuously. Due to heavy rainfall of July 2003, landslides had occurred

in more than 70 places in 36 kM section of Narayangadh- Mugling road.

Due to the disaster created by the devastating flood and landslide, some

new learning and experiences have been gained through awareness for

preventing them.

1.1.5 flood

There are more than 6,000 rivers in Nepal of small and big size with total

length of about 45,000 kilometer. These rivers are helpful for agriculture and


irrigation facilities and to sustain the life but when these rivers get flooded,

the flood ruins most of the Terai and valleys. In Nepal, the drainage density is

0.3 km per square kilometer which shows that how close and flood sensitive

the drainages are. In addition to damaging the crops, the flood causes great

loss of humanitarian and physical assets and generally epidemics spread

out after flood. Particularly, the poor people are the most unsafe from it.

Since 1971 to 2015, a total of 4,344 people have lost their life due to flood.

Generally, flood occurs in Nepal due to high intensity rainfall, continuous

rainfall for several days, glacial lake outburst and landslide lake outburst.

We have an experience of flash flood and damages of life and property in

the Mediumhill region of Nepal. Because of the deposition of huge sediment

carried by the river flowing from the hilly area down to the plain Terai, especially

the floodplains in the Terai are affected by the floods. When summer

monsoon becomes very active, flooding occurs mostly in July, August and

mid-September. Flash flood occurs due to outburst of the temporary lakes

made by the glaciers and landslides also. Because of the flash flood caused

by the rivulets originated from Chure hill, the Bhawar region is at risk. These

rivers change their course frequently and bring too much sediment. After

these sediments get deposited at the plains, the height of the river bed and

bank increase continuously. When these rivers flow to the southern Terai,

then inundation, bank erosion and deposition of sand in the agricultural field

happen.

The Terai of Nepal gets inundated due to the congestion of drainage by

the embankments constructed near the border between Bihar and Uttar

Pradesh of India. The infrastructure development, especially construction

of road near the border also obstructs natural drainage. When river bed

rises, the communities become unsafe even on medium flow. For resolving

such problem, preventive measures like clearing the natural drainages are

necessary along with the specific activities for rescue and relief. The problem


of flood is also widespread in hilly areas where the Glacial Lake Outburst

Flood may damage the lower part significantly.

1.1.6 snowstorm and avalanche

On 14 October, 2014, snow storm and subsequent avalanche occurred around

Annapurna and Dhaulagiri areas in Manang and Mustang districts of Nepal.

The storm was triggered by the Hudhud cyclone originated from the Bay of

Bengal on 6th October of the same year. Due to snow storm and avalanche,

at least 43 people including 21 pedestrians were killed. Approximately 50

persons were reported missing and 175 people were injured due to severe

cold. About 400 people were rescued from different areas of Manang and

Mustang. Such incidents affect tourism and national economy deeply. Such

disaster risks can be prevented with the proper investment on developing a

mechanism for shifting tourists and local community at safe places and on

weather forecasting and early warning system.

1.1.7 Droughts

Every year drought impacts the agriculture, environment and ecosystem

negatively in the Tarai and western hills of Nepal. December to June is

relatively dry and drought like situation develops during monsoon season

also if there is no rainfall for a long time. The Manang and Mustang districts

located in the Trans–Himalayan range are very dry throughout the year and

Terai and western hills are affected more in comparison to other areas.

It is experienced that drying of sources of water (mainly the source of

groundwater) is increasing in the middle mountains. The Ministry of

Agriculture, Land Management and Cooperatives has identified droughts as

the most hazardous for agriculture. Long droughts can impact the agricultural

production negatively and create the situation of food insecurity specifically,


when only 38% of agricultural land has the access of irrigation throughout

the year and rest of the land depends on monsoon rain. About 5000 families

living in the hills and Terai are affected by droughts every year in Nepal. The

food production drops drastically due to droughts and the problem of famine

may increase more.

There was severe decline in food production all over the country due to lack

of rainfall in the winter of 2008. The production of wheat and barley was

dropped by 14 and 17% respectively. In some districts of mid and far western

Nepal, the food production dropped half from November 2008 to February

2009 due to rainfall less than half of the normal. The joint assessment of

the Ministry of Agriculture, Land Management and Cooperatives, UN Food

& Agricultural Organization and World Food Program showed that about

20 lakh people were at high risk of food insecurity and additionally 35 lakh

people were badly affected due to inadequate food production. The report

of those organizations revealed that there was food crisis due to droughts in

40 districts out of 75 districts of Nepal.

In addition to aforementioned major climatic, geological and health hazards,

Nepal is also relatively insecure from the hazards like forest fire, thunderbolt,

hailstorms, windstorm, glacial lake outburst flood, air pollution and water

pollution.

The climatic change may cause the change in spatial and temporal patterns of

extreme weather events. In recent years, it has been found that the monsoon

pattern has been changed and the active monsoon duration is prolonged due

to late withdrawal of monsoon. The spatial pattern of high intensity extreme

rainfall is quite different from the annual or monsoon rainfall pattern. The Terai

and Chure region where generally less annual rainfall and rainy days are

expected, are suffering from high intensity extreme rainfall. The analysis of

the trend of recent precipitation data from 1981 to 2010 of 210 stations shows


that pre-monsoon rainfall is increasing all over Nepal while post-monsoon

rainfall is decreasing. Additionally, a significant increasing trend of continuous

dry days and decreasing trend of rainy days are observed throughout Nepal

which indicates increase in dry period nationwide. Generally, intensification

of various rainfall indicators at different part of the country indicates location

specific risk of flood, landslide and droughts.

Disaster is a result of hazard and vulnerability. The most vulnerable group

consists of financially disadvantaged and poor families, marginalized and

socially excluded communities, women, children, elderly and people with

disability. Disaster risk depends on social, economic and political structure

and interrelationship between them. Disaster risk can be reduced by reducing

the exposure and vulnerability and increasing the resilience.



A REVIEW ON IMPLEMENTATION OF NATIONAL STRATEGy FOR DISASTER RISk MANAGEMENT, 2009 AND ExISTING LEGAL AND POLICy FRAMEWORk

Chapter 2



a review on imPlementation of national strategy for Disaster risk management, 2009 anD existing legal anD Policy framework

2.1 review of the implementation of national strategy on Disaster risk management 2009

National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management (NSDRM) 2009 has adopted

a disaster risk reduction oriented comprehensive approach from relief and

rescue-oriented approach to in disaster risk management. The government

agencies working in disaster risk management, development partners,

national/international NGOs, the Red Cross movement, humanitarian

organizations and community based-organizations had participated and

supported the formulation and implementation of the strategy.

There have been several significant achievements on policy and institutional

arrangements in risk reduction sector through implementation of this

strategy. New constructions following National Building Code and retrofitting

programs of school and hospital buildings are important achievements in

the risk reduction sector. Similarly, the local disaster risk management plans

and district disaster preparedness and response plans implemented from

district to the community level and emergency operation centers established

and operated from the center to the district level are some significant efforts

for risk reduction. Likewise, this sector has been benefitted by the programs

related to capacity building of human resources involved in disaster

risk management at national to local levels. The Early Warning Systems


established in some of the rivers and risk-prone glacial lakes have helped to

reduce the loss of life and property by flood and inundation.

Despite some noticeable progress after implementation of National Strategy

for Disaster Risk Management 2009, there hasn’t been progress as expected

on the first and second priority activities like institutional arrangements and risk

assessment due to inability of making the governance activities risk sensitive

as expected. The establishment and institutionalization of Geographic

Information System (GIS)-based disaster information management system

and development of actionable risk information and its effective dissemination

mechanism are still at the initial stages. Additionally, mainstreaming of Climate

Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction in the overall development

process by integrating assessment of climatic and other risks have not been

achieved. It is necessary to integrate and effectively implement the policy,

institutional and legal arrangements related to Climate Change Adaptation

and Disaster Risk Reduction so that limited resources could be well utilized.

Though Nepal gained significant achievements in last ten years, there are

still more to be done to accomplish the vision of the strategy as a disaster

resilient Nepal.

2.2 existing legal and Policy framework

Under the policies for protection, promotion and use of natural resources,

the Constitution of Nepal 2015 has set the policy of early warning, disaster

preparedness, rescue, relief and rehabilitation for preventing water-induced

disasters, developing sustainable and reliable irrigation through river

management and minimizing the risks from disasters caused by natural

hazards. Schedule 7 of the constitution has enlisted natural and non-

natural disaster preparedness, rescue, relief and rehabilitation activities in

the concurrent powers of Federal and Provincial governments. Similarly,

Schedule 8 has enlisted disaster management as sole responsibility of the


local government and Schedule 9 has included it in concurrent powers of

Federal, Provincial and Local governments.

With the implementation of Natural Calamity (Relief) Act, 1982, Nepal

embarked institutionalization of Disaster Management. This act established

the Ministry of Home Affairs as a central agency for coordinating the

activities to protect life and property through post-disaster rescue and relief.

Similarly, other ministries, departments, academia, development partners,

UN Agencies, international humanitarian organizations, non-governmental

organizations and civil societies were given supporting role. The act has

bestowed rights to the formation of Central Natural Disaster Relief Committee

for formulation and implementation of policy at the central level and Natural

Disaster Relief Committees in regional, district and local level for coordination

and implementation.

As a result of international initiatives, with the adoption of Hyogo framework

in 2005, the concept of disaster management in Nepal is developing towards

“Disaster Risk Reduction”. In this context, the National Strategy for Disaster

Risk Management, 2009 has aimed to develop the resilient community

by identifying five priority areas for disaster risk reduction. In line with the

Hyogo Framework (2005-2015), this strategy set a vision of “Disaster

Resilient Nepal”. It has motivated to mainstream Disaster Risk Reduction

in the process of formulation and implementation of sectoral development

plans and encouraged for development and strengthening of institutional

mechanism, capacity building, effective implementation of emergency

preparedness, responses and recovery programs.

Sendai Framework 2015 has set four priority areas and a vision of developing

disaster resilient community and nation by ensuring participation of all-of-the-

society in disaster management. Nepal has also implemented Disaster Risk

Reduction and Management Act, 2017 as per the international commitment,


experiences on past disasters and the Constitution of Nepal. The act has

covered all aspects of Disaster Risk Reduction and Management. It has

made an arrangement of “National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Authority” as a specialized agency for Disaster Management and clarified

the roles and responsibilities of Federal, Provincial and the Local level.

The Tenth Five year Plan (2002-2007) has followed disaster management as

an interrelated policy. The plan had highlighted on water induced disasters

prevention, integrated management of natural and human induced disasters,

policy improvement, development of institutional mechanism, disaster

risk assessment and information dissemination, and disaster resistance

construction practices.

Three years Interim Plan (2007-2010) has accepted the necessity of Disaster

Risk Management for sustainable development by identifying disaster a

hindrance for achieving development goal. This plan had emphasized on

the cooperation and coordination between the major agencies and the

stakeholders. Additionally, prioritizing on disaster management, the 14th plan

(2016 - 2018) has adopted the policy of conducting special program on

capacity building for emergency search, rescue, treatment and immediate

relief and, mainstreaming disaster risk reduction in all the dimensions and

stages of development.

The Soil and Watershed Conservation Act 1982 has a legal arrangement

to conserve soil and watershed by controlling natural hazards like flood,

landslide and soil erosion. The Water Resources Act, 1992 has a provision

to utilize the water resources without having a significant adverse effect on

the environment due to soil erosion, flood, landslide or similar other reasons.

The Local Governance Act 1998 provided the rights to perform the activities

related to disaster risk reduction to the then local agencies (Village


Development Committee, Municipality, and District Development Committees)

and people as the most appropriate entry point to formulate and implement

effective development plans at their areas. Additionally, it provided the rights

to establish Environment Conservation and Disaster Management Fund at

the District Development Committee, Village Development Committee, and

Municipality level..

The Local Government Operation Act, 2018 has replaced the local governance

act 1998. The Sub-section 2(p) of the Section 11 of Local Government

Operation Act, 2018, has included functions of all stages of disaster risk

reduction under the duty, responsibility and rights of rural and urban

municipalities. This act has also included the activities related to the building

construction permission, monitoring, and evaluation as per the National

Building Code and Standard including the policy, plan, program formulation,

implementation, monitoring, regulation and evaluation etc. related to safe

community development under the duty, responsibility and rights of the rural

and urban municipality. Similarly, the Building Act 1998 has a provision of

forming a Building Construction Management Strengthening Committee to

regulate the Building Construction work for reducing the possible damage

on buildings by the earthquake, fire and other natural disasters.

National Agriculture policy, 2004 has aimed to protect, promote, and utilize

the Natural Resource, Environment, and Bio-Diversity. It has mentioned

the establishment and operationalization of monitoring system for natural

hazards, extreme rainfall, droughts, disease, insects and other natural

hazards assessment and mobilization of agricultural relief.. In order to make

peasants resilient to climate change and disasters, the current Agricultural

Development Strategy (2015- 2035) has prioritized the activities for the

establishment of early warning system on weather and climate, research on

drought and flood resistant seeds, establishment of Peasants Welfare Fund,


promotion of agricultural insurance, storage of food, seeds and fodder,

establishment of Preparedness and Responses Fund etc.

In order to reduce the risk from fire in industries and businesses, Industry

Policy, 2010 has made an arrangement of a modern fire brigade in industrial

zone and corridor in coordination with rural / urban municipality, and rebate

on income tax for the subsidy or financial help given by the industry during

any natural disaster and social service.

The Guidance Note - District Disaster Preparedness and Response Planning,

2011 has clearly assigned responsibilities to the all government agencies,

Red Cross, National/ International non-government organizations, and UN

agencies involved in the process of formulating disaster preparedness and

response plan at the district level. Based on this, Disaster Preparedness and

Responses Plans have been prepared and implemented in all districts. Nepal

Road Safety Action Plan (2013- 2020) has a vision of reducing loss of life

and property through the provision of safe road infrastructures and services

backed with effective post-crash responses. This action plan has set various

activities under five pillars such as road safety management, safer roads and

mobility, safer vehicles, safer road-users, and post-crash response.

National Disaster Response Framework, 2013 has clear arrangement for

managing disaster preparedness, and post-disaster search, rescue and relief,

assignment of responsibility and for effective coordination. The framework

has also clear arrangement for the process of appealing international support

for responses and its responsibility, its aspects to be considered, and the

coordination of international support. The framework has also clear provision

of clusters for sectoral coordination, mechanism for collection of disaster

information and its impact, and mobilization during emergency. Identifying

the priority activities of different timelines after disaster, it has identified post-

disaster activities and assigned responsibilities.


Besides these, there are few other regulations or directives already in practice

to guide the activities of preparedness, responses and recovery. Among

them, the major legal arrangements are the National Strategic Action Plan

for Search and Rescue, 2014, Disaster Rescue and Relief Standard, 2007,

Disaster Victims Resettlement Procedure 2014, Prime Minister Disaster

Relief Fund Operation Regulations 2006, Post Disaster Corpse Management

Guidelines 2011, the Government’s decision of 83 open areas in kathmandu

valley, 2012, and Fire Brigade Operation and Management Procedure, 2010.

National Health policy 2014, has adopted the holistic management policy for

addressing health related negative impact caused by climate change through

proper use of national network, mechanism and appropriate opportunity and

preparation of a multi-sectoral plan to collaborate with all stakeholders as

well as proper arrangement to coordinate and cooperate effectively with all

stakeholders for the management of zoonotic and vector-borne diseases.

National Reconstruction and Rehabilitation policy, 2015 provides policy level

guidance for the post-disaster recovery, reconstruction and rehabilitation.

National Reconstruction Authority has been established to reconstruct the

physical structures and settlements damaged by the April, 2015 earthquake,

and for implementation plan formulation and coordination of reconstruction

and rehabilitation program.

Water Induced Disaster Management Policy 2015 has presented various

policies to reduce the loss of life and property through prevention of water

induced disasters like flood and landslide by structural and non-structural

technology and for sustainable use of infrastructures like natural resources,

drinking water, water transport, irrigation, road transport etc. by conserving

river, watershed and aquatic environment.


National Urban Development Strategy, 2016 has considered resilience

among one of the five guiding principles for a balanced and prosperous

urban future. This strategy has emphasized on integrating resilience in urban

system and community plan formulation and development for building

disaster risk adaptive city and community.

In September 2015, 193 member countries of United Nations endorsed the

Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. The Government of Nepal has

adopted those goals for inclusive long term development of the nation.

The disaster risk reduction activities will support to achieve Sustainable

Development Goals 2, 3, 6, 9, 11, 13 and 15 directly.

The Government of Nepal has prepared and implemented Climate Change

Policy, 2011, National Adaptation Programme of Action to Climate Change

2010, and National Framework on Local Adaptation Plans for Action 2011,

to address the impacts of extreme climatic events and climate change to

implement adaptation actions and integrate climate change adaptation into

the local development plan. The Climate Change Policy includes the issues

for mitigating adverse effect of hazardous glacial lakes on priority basis based

on the study of current situation of glaciers and glacial lakes, developing

and implementing necessary mechanism and their regular supervision and

strengthening of the working capacity for early warning and prevention by

forecasting the water induced disaster and risk due to climate change.

In October 2016, the new urban agenda adopted by the UN Habitat III for the

housing and sustainable urban development has also envisaged adopting

and implementing the disaster risk reduction and management, lessening

crisis situation, building resilience and response capacity on natural and

human-induced disaster, and cities promoting the climate change reduction

and adaptation.


In March 2015, 187 member countries of United Nations have adopted

Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 in the third world

disaster reduction conference. It has set four priority areas and seven global

targets for reduction of disaster risks and losses. Nepal also being a signatory

state of Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, has prepared this

“Disaster Risk Reduction National Strategic Plan of Action 2018 - 2030.

2.3 Process of formulating strategic action Plan

The Government of Nepal has realized the need for new roadmap to move

forward by replacing National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management

2009 based on post-2015 global frameworks for disaster risk reduction

and management. This National Strategic Plan of Action on Disaster Risk

Reduction has been prepared based on the experience gained through the

implementation of National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management, 2009, the

experiences and lessons from the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Paris Agreement

on Climate Change, Sustainable Development Goals and Sendai Framework.

This will ensure active participation of all stakeholders in its implementation

by identifying and mainstreaming risk sensitive activities in the development

process of federal, provincial and local level for risk reduction. .

A Working Committee led by the head of the Disaster Management Division of

Ministry of Home Affairs was formed for the preparation of this strategic plan

of action. It was comprised of the representatives from different government

entities (Office of Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers, National Planning

Commission, Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration, Ministry

of Urban Development, Ministry of Health and Population, and Ministry of

Forest and Environment) and development partners (Donor agency, Office

of the UN Resident Coordinator, UNDP, Association of International Non-

Governmental Organization Task Group on Disaster Management, Disaster

Preparedness Network Nepal, Nepal Red Cross Society, and private sector).


The following six thematic working groups were formed under the working

committee.

1. Productive Sector (Agriculture, Food Security and livelihood, Industry):

Thematic lead - Ministry of Agriculture, Land Management and

Cooperatives, Thematic co-lead - Ministry of Industry, Commerce and

Supply.

2. Social Sector (Education, Health, Water Supply and Sanitation, Social

Welfare): Thematic lead - Ministry of Education, Science and Technology,

Thematic co-lead - Ministry of Health and Population.

3. Infrastructure Sector (Urban Development, Transportation, Irrigation,

Energy, Housing and Cultural Heritage): Thematic lead - Ministry of

Urban Development, Thematic co-lead - Ministry of Energy, Water

Resources and Irrigation, Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation.

4. Natural Resource and Environment Sector (Land Use, Forest and

Environment): Thematic lead - Ministry of Federal Affairs and General

Administration, Thematic co-lead - Ministry of Forest and Environment.

5. Gender and Social Inclusion and Governance Sector: Thematic lead -

National Planning Commission, Thematic co-lead - Ministry of Women,

Children and Senior Citizen

6. Emergency Communication, Preparedness, Response and Recovery

Sector: Thematic lead - Ministry of Home Affairs, Thematic co-lead -

Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration

These Thematic Working Groups consisted of the representatives from other

concerned agencies of the Government of Nepal, Development Partners, UN

Agencies, National / International Non-Governmental Organizations, Disaster

Preparedness Network Nepal, Nepal Red Cross society and private sectors.

These Thematic Working Groups have recommended strategic activities

related to their sector to include in this strategic action plan by collecting


the suggestions through different stages of discussion and consultation

meetings.

As recommended by Sendai Framework, consultation workshops were

organized at national, regional and district level with the participation of

stakeholders of all sectors, where representatives from multi-stakeholders

agencies provided recommendations to include in "National Policy and

Strategic Plan of Action on Disaster Risk Reduction” based on learned

issues and challenges from their best practices identifying main problems

and solutions.

This strategic action plan has been given its final shape based on the

views, advices and suggestions of all with broad discussion at different

stages and level on the draft prepared by including the suggestions and

recommendations of stakeholders’ consultation meetings, workshops and

Thematic Working Groups.



STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN FOR DISASTER RISk REDUCTION

Chapter 3



strategic action Plan for Disaster risk reDuction

3.1 introduction

The strategic action plan for disaster risk reduction is a national document

of the Government of Nepal with commitment for disaster risk reduction and

management to support accomplishing Sustainable Development Goals by

building disaster resilient community. This action plan has emphasized on the

comprehensive approach of "Risk Reduction" in Disaster Management. While

preparing the action plan, it has incorporated a comprehensive approach of

Risk Reduction in Disaster Management in accordance with the international

declarations and commitments such as Sendai Framework for Disaster

Risk Reduction 2015-2030, Asia Regional Plan adopted on Asian Ministerial

Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction 2016, and the Cancun Declaration

adopted by fifth meeting of Global Forum on Disaster Risk Reduction.

This strategic action plan takes into account of the experiences gained from

the implementation of National Strategy for Disaster Risk Management 2009,

experiences and lessons learned from recent major disasters including

the Gorkha earthquake, and initiatives on Climate Change Adaptation and

Sustainable Development Goals. The action plan has clearly defined four

main priority areas, its supporting areas and strategic activities and assigned

the responsibilities to various agencies.

3.2 guiding Principles

The implementation of disaster risk reduction strategic action plan will be

guided by the following principles:


1. The state has the primary responsibility to prevent, reduce and manage

disaster risks. The state shall pursue international, regional and bilateral

cooperation and partnership if deemed necessary.

2. The Government of Nepal shall pursue the disaster risk reduction and

management work in participation and cooperation of its Federal,

Provincial and Local level authorities, stakeholder organizations and

communities, private sectors and international organizations..

3. Disaster Risk Management shall aim at protecting persons and their

property, health, livelihood and productive assets, as well as cultural

and environmental assets, while promoting and protecting all human

rights, including the right to development.

4. Disaster risk reduction and management shall be pursued with an all-

of-society engagement and partnership. It also includes empowerment

and inclusive, accessible and non-discriminatory participation, paying

special attention to people disproportionately affected by disasters,

especially the poorest. A gender, age, disability and cultural perspective

shall be integrated in all policies and practices, and women and youth

leadership shall be promoted.

5. The state shall ensure full engagement of all institutions of executive

and legislative nature at federal, provincial and local levels and a clear

articulation of responsibilities across public and private stakeholders

to ensure mutual outreach, partnership, complementary in roles and

accountability.

6. Local authorities and local communities shall be empowered to reduce

disaster risk, including thorough resources, incentives and decision-

making responsibilities, as appropriate.

7. Disaster risk reduction requires a multi-hazard approach and inclusive

risk-informed decision-making based on the open exchange and

dissemination of disaggregated data, including by sex, age and


disability, as well as on easily accessible, up-to-date, comprehensible,

science-based, non-sensitive risk information, complemented by

traditional knowledge.

8. There shall be coherence between Sustainable Development Goals,

Food Security, Health Security, Climate Change Adaptation, Environment

Management and Disaster Risk Reduction.

9. Local and specific characteristics of disaster risks shall be considered

for the determination of measures to reduce disaster risk.

10. Disaster risk-informed public and private investments shall be

increased to address underlying disaster risk factors and to contribute

to sustainable development.

11. In the post-disaster recovery, rehabilitation and reconstruction phase,

“Build Back Better” approach shall be followed to prevent the creation

of and to reduce disaster risk.

12. Public education and awareness of disaster risk shall be increased.

13. Application of science and technology shall be promoted and local

resources, materials, knowledge, skills and labor shall be used optimally

in disaster risk reduction and management.

3.3 vision, expected outcome, goal and targets

visionThe long-term vision of the strategic action plan is to build a safer, adaptive

and resilient nation from disaster risk for sustainable development.

expected outcome

The expected outcome of the Strategic Action Plan shall be to reduce disaster

mortality and number of affected people substantially, and to mitigate the

disaster risk and losses in livelihoods, health, assets, businesses and

communities.


goal

The goal of the strategic Action plan is to prevent new and reduce existing

natural and non-natural disaster risks and losses significantly in life and

property, health, livelihood and means of production, physical and social

infrastructure, cultural and environmental heritage through identification

of various strategic activities and formulation and implementation of the

periodic and annual plan that prevent disaster risk, increase preparedness

for response, rehabilitation and reconstruction and strengthen resilience.

targets

Analysis of last 45 years (1971- 2015) dataset maintained by the Ministry of

Home Affairs, Government of Nepal revealed that about 900 people (except

roads accident) lose their life each year due to disasters. Similarly, in average

about 6, 40,000 people are affected annually by the disasters whereas about

30, 000 houses get damaged or destroyed. Due to the roads accident only,

every year about 2000 people lose their life and 13,000 people get injured in

Nepal.

The sectors more affected and damaged economically by the disaster are

productive, social, and infrastructure. The analysis of the economic values

of damage and losses during 1971-2010 showed that around 2% of GDP

is lost every year due to disasters. Greater values of economic losses were

reported by 1988 and 2015 earthquakes and floods of 1993, 2008 and 2017.

About one-third GDP was lost due to 2015 Gorkha earthquake whereas 2017

Terai floods only resulted about 3% loss in GDP.

This Strategic Action Plan has set the following targets on reducing disaster

loss considering the targets set by Nepal on Sustainable Development Goals

2030 and School Sector Development Plan as well.

Figure 1 Priority Areas for Disaster Risk Reduction in Nepal


PRIORITy AREA 1: UNDERSTANDING DISASTER RISk

Chapter 4



Priority area 1: unDerstanDing Disaster risk

Understanding disaster risks requires better information, especially how risks

associated with natural and non-natural hazards interact with communities

that are facing rising exposure to these hazards. Since most ministries,

departments, provincial and local governments have very limited information

about their exposure to natural and non- natural hazards and impact of risks,

realizing the priority area on understanding risk, it is necessary to adopt

new approaches that help to make decisions on reducing risks. For risk

assessments and information, following internationally agreed approach

in Nepal, it is necessary to include mainly three elements of risk: hazard,

exposure and vulnerability.

Impact Modeling and Risk Assessment can be done for understanding

disaster risk. Impact modeling is the estimation of an impact on individuals,

structures, livelihoods etc. by any hazard while risk assessment is the

aggregation of the impacts of all potential events. The risk assessment allows

determining the annual average loss and probable maximum loss from

individual or multiple hazards. The decision makers can take appropriate

decision before any incident occurs based on the result of Impact Modeling.

Impact models can be very useful for financial planning and protection,

prioritizing investment for disaster risk reduction and cost-benefit analysis

of various risk reduction options. They are the basis for preparedness, focus

risk reduction investment, and formulate and implement policies that prevent

the creation of new risks.

To undertake effective risk assessment, data must be open and easily

available legally and technically. While analyzing such data using open source


technology, they must be able to be reused, reprinted, and redistributed

without cost. Data needs to be collected, analyzed, and curated by the people

facing the risks. Only through this process of having the data been available

to all and curated by those who are potentially affected can behavior fully

change.

As per the nature of hazard, it is necessary to conduct risk assessment

and mapping in Nepal for each hazard including risk related information

covering knowledge on vulnerability and capacity, and social, economic

and demographic information. The disaggregated data should be collected

based on gender, age, disability, and other indicators. Comprehensive

database system on hazard, vulnerability, and capacity is still to be

developed regarding at the national and local level. Similarly, integrated

disaster risk information dissemination system, and capacities for judicial

use of media and the modern information technologies have not been fully

developed. Identification of disaster risk and its monitoring is still remained

to be institutionally strengthened. Addressing these issues, for increased

understanding of disaster risk, the strategic activities are selected for Short

Term (2018-2020), Medium Term (2018-2025), Long Term (2018-2030) and

Continuous for those activities that need to be done continuously under the

following Priority Actions.

a. Hazard-wise Risk Assessment

b. Inter-Agency Coordination for Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment

c. Development of Effective Disaster Management Information System

and Information Dissemination

d. Capacity Building for Understanding Disaster Risk

PRIORITy AREA 2: STRENGTHENING DISASTER RISk GOVERNANCE AT FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL AND LOCAL LEVELS

Chapter 5



Priority area 2: strengtHening Disaster risk governance at feDeral, Provincial anD local levels

Strengthening disaster risk governance is considered as cornerstone

of the efforts to understand, reduce and manage the risks. Disaster risk

governance entails mechanisms, institutions and processes for citizens

to articulate their interests, exercise their legal rights and obligations, and

mediate their differences in disaster risk reduction and management. This

means ensuring that sufficient levels of capacity and resources are made

available to prevent, prepare for, manage and recover from disasters. The

Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015-2030 identifies

disaster risk governance at different levels which is of great importance for

an effective and efficient management of disaster risk. It also requires clear

vision, plans, competence, guidance, and coordination within and across all

sectors as well as participation of relevant stakeholders. Strengthening the

disaster risk governance system is necessary to foster the collaboration and

partnership for the implementation of disaster risk reduction and sustainable

development. It is necessary to emphasize on the following to strengthen

disaster risk governance.

a. Mainstream and integrate disaster risk reduction within and across

all sectors and promote the coherence and development of relevant

laws, regulations and public policies. It must guide both the public and

private sectors that clearly spells out the roles and responsibilities. It

must address Disaster Risk in publicly owned, managed, or regulated

services and infrastructures. It must encourage actions by persons,

households, communities or businesses. It has to enhance relevant


mechanism and initiatives for disaster risk transparency. It must put in

place coordination and organizational structures.

b. Adopt and implement disaster risk reduction strategies and plans,

across all levels.

c. Carry out assessment of the technical, financial and administrative

disaster risk management capacity to deal with the identified risks at

different levels.

d. Promote necessary mechanisms and incentives to ensure high levels

of compliance with the existing safety-enhancing provisions of sectoral

laws and regulations, including those addressing land use and urban

planning, building codes, environmental and resource management

and health and safety standards, and update them, where needed.

e. Develop and strengthen mechanisms to periodically review and

assess the progress on various disaster management plans as well as

encourage institutional debates including by people’s representatives,

parliamentarians and relevant officials, on disaster risk reduction plans.

f. Assign clear roles and tasks to community representatives for disaster

risk management through relevant legal frameworks and clear

responsibilities.

g. Establish and strengthen government coordination forum composed of

relevant stakeholders at the national and local levels, such as national

and local platforms for disaster risk reduction.

h. Empower local authorities to collaborate and coordinate with civil society,

communities, political parties and their sister organizations, indigenous

people and migrants in disaster risk management at the local level.

i. Promote discussion and debate with parliamentarians for relevant

legislation and budget allocation for disaster risk reduction.

j. Promote the development of quality standards, such as certifications

and awards for disaster risk management, with the participation of

the private sector, civil society, professional associations, scientific

organizations and United Nations.


k. Formulate relevant public policies and laws aimed at addressing issues

of prevention or relocation, where possible, of human settlements in

disaster risk zones.

Pursuing this Priority Area entails successfully reducing risk by implementing

the Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction in an integrated

manner, within development sectors, social and economic development

planning processes and practices, in order to reduce the existing risks,

and to prevent creation of new risks or loss and damage. Additionally, this

priority area will contribute to strengthening resilient development providing

incentives for safer development in low risk areas and dis-incentives for high-

risk areas.

Achieving this will include development of integrated disaster and climate

risk screening method for its use in development project. These methods

are intended to help ensure that all projects are adequately protected

against natural hazards and they do not create new forms of disaster risk

or exacerbate existing ones. They are intended to promote a systematic

approach to analyze disaster and climate risk at the development project

level.

Nepal is one of the least urbanized but the fastest urbanizing countries in

the world. It is necessary to update and implement building codes to reduce

risk in urban areas. Additionally, provision of drainage system should be

mandatory in urban development projects.

It is necessary to establish and strengthen responsible agencies as per the

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act, 2017 to prepare national

programs, and establish a system to promote and guide the stakeholders

from federal to the local level for disaster risk reduction. The policy related to

Disaster Risk Management needs to be revised in accordance with context


and utility. The formulation of preparedness and emergency response plans

and capacity development are necessary at all levels.

Addressing the above mentioned needs to strengthen disaster risk

governance in Nepal, the following priority actions are determined under this

priority area.

a. Establishment and Strengthening of Institutional Structures

b. Formulation of Legal and Regulatory Framework

c. Capacity Building, Collaboration and Partnership for Disaster Risk

Governance

d. Ensuring Inclusiveness in Disaster Risk Reduction

PRIORITy AREA 3: PROMOTING COMPREHENSIVE RISk-INFORMED PRIVATE AND PUBLIC INVESTMENTS IN DISASTER RISk REDUCTION FOR RESILIENCE

Chapter 6



Priority area 3- Promoting comPreHensive risk-informeD Private anD Public investments in Disaster risk reDuction for resilience

Private and public investments are important in disaster risk prevention

and mitigation through structural and non-structural measures in order to

increase physical, economic, social, health and cultural resilience of the

persons, community and nation. Such investment not only promotes disaster

risk reduction and resilience but also develops infrastructure, increases

production, and creates employment. These measures are also important

for post-disaster rapid recovery and rehabilitation. Conservation of heritages

like forest, water resources and land and retrofitting of the structural assets

like schools, health services, private and public infrastructures increase

disaster resilience. Risk sharing, poverty alleviation, promotion of income

generation and the means of livelihoods are important for risk reduction and

increasing resilience.

The practice of disaster risk insurance is at initial stage in Nepal. The systems

in practice elsewhere in the area of risk and compensation (for example,

micro-insurance, reserved fund, risk grouping and social mobilization, micro-

finance system, social security etc.) have not been established in Nepal, and

hence the poor and marginalized families and groups are in high risk. Various

financial mechanisms, for instance, annual budget allocation, emergency

fund and insurance mechanism can be used to increase disaster resilience.


This priority area will address the following:

1. Reduce existing disaster risk by investment in increasing resilience

2. Prevent future risks by promoting private and public investment in

disaster risk reduction

The following priority actions are stated in this priority area:

a. Promoting Investment in Increasing Resilience

b. Promoting Public investment in Disaster Risk Reduction

c. Promoting Private Investment in Disaster Risk Reduction

d. Increasing Disaster Resilience Through Risk Sharing, Insurance and

Social Security

PRIORITy AREA 4: ENHANCING DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR EFFECTIVE RESPONSE AND TO “BUILD BACk BETTER” IN RECOVERy, REHABILITATION AND RECONSTRUCTION

Chapter 7



enHancing Disaster PrePareDness for effective resPonse anD to “builD back better” in recovery, reHabilitation anD reconstruction

This priority area covers disaster preparedness, response, recovery,

rehabilitation and reconstruction. The preparedness mainly consists of

disaster risk forecasting, early warning system, emergency preparedness

plan, collection and storage of emergency items, safe evacuation, and –

mock drills. Response covers the activities of disaster emergency service

and assistance during or immediately after the disaster. Saving human life

and preventing the additional physical loss are the priority actions of this

stage. Search, rescue, relief, emergency health services, temporary shelter,

safe drinking water and sanitation, and arrangement of food are the other

priority activities of this stage. After the completion of emergency phase,

the recovery activities such as improvement and normalization of disaster

affected services and facilities, income generation and other livelihood

activities need to be pursued. The campaign to “Build Back Better” in

rehabilitation and reconstruction also begins in this phase with the activities

like raising people’s awareness, strong plan, institutional strengthening and

coordination.

Multi-hazard early warning systems are proven very effective in enhancing

disaster preparedness. In order to implement the early warning system, it

requires institutionalized arrangements for adequately timed early warning

of the impact of probable disaster events. The effectiveness of early warning

systems has been proven by the benefits provided by flood early warning


systems to reduce loss of human life and property in recent flood incidents

in some of the flood prone river basins. The current experience on flood early

warning system needs to be expanded to other major and small river basins.

This requires investment in developing, operationalizing and strengthening

multi-sectoral impact based, multi-hazard forecasting and early warning

systems.

Multi-hazard early warning system at the federal, province and local levels

need to be developed through participatory process, using the information

obtained by assessing the social and cultural requirements, particularly the

needs of women, elderly persons and children including the requirements of

the users. For this, mobile apps and web portal can also be developed.

The following priority actions are provided under this Priority Area for

enhancing disaster preparedness and to “Build Back Better” in recovery,

rehabilitation and reconstruction.

a. Strengthening Disaster Preparedness for Effective Disaster Response

b. Development of Multi-Hazard Early Warning System for Disaster

Preparedness

c. Promotion of Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction

d. Strengthening Communication and Dissemination for Disaster

Preparedness

e. Capacity Building for Search and Rescue

f. Promoting “Build Back Better” Approach for Recovery, Rehabilitation

and Reconstruction

IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING, REVIEW AND REVISION OF STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN

Chapter 9



imPlementation, monitoring, review anD revision of strategic action Plan

There is a need of common efforts of the Government, Governmental and

Non- Governmental stakeholders, development partners, political parties

and their sister organizations, and private sectors for Disaster Risk Reduction

and Management. Being a part of development process, all government

agencies concerned to development need to coordinate and cooperate for

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management. Disaster risk reduction activities

should be integrated in the periodic plan and programs and progress should

be regularly monitored. The following redresses shall be followed in the

implementation of Strategic Plan of Action for Disaster Risk Reduction.

1. This plan of Action will be enforced for its planned implementation

preparing periodic and annual plan. Additionally, it will be implemented

expanding it in the form of a project.

2. While preparing and implementing programs of sectoral Ministries and

departments, this plan of action will be considered as a guideline.

3. Resources will be managed for the continuous implementation of

programs and projects on disaster risk reduction following multi-year

program and budget based on the priorities.

4. Sectoral Ministries and Departments will be restructured based on

the organization and management study report for ameliorating the

implementation and management practice of this Plan of Action.


5. Necessary policy will be formulated for the implementation of this Plan

of Action. In addition, the sectoral strategy and action plans will be

revised to harmonize with this plan of action.

Federal, provincial and local level organizations having their envisioning and

special roles in establishment of resilient community, implementation of this

disaster risk reduction strategic action plan and its effectiveness depend on

the qualitative and quantitative assessments of the efforts made by various

organizations that promote resilient community building at the federal,

provincial and local level. As such, monitoring at different levels would be

required.

Post-disaster reconstruction effort needs to be linked to the reduction of

future potential disaster risk by applying the build-back-better approach.

At federal level, monitoring of implementation of Strategic Plan of Action

will be conducted through “Annual Report and Monitoring System”. The

National Council formed in accordance with the Disaster Risk Reduction

and Management Act, 2017 will conduct monitoring and evaluation of the

progress of implementation of this plan of action. The National Disaster

Risk Reduction and Management Authority will coordinate Disaster Risk

Reduction, Recovery, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction.

An effective preparedness plays a vital role to make disaster responses

effective and to reduce loss of life and property. Therefore, disaster response

needs to be linked with disaster preparedness. The executive committee,

formed in accordance with Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act,

2017 will coordinate disaster preparedness and responses.

These high-level committees, at least once a year in February, shall organize a

meeting to review the annual progress on the implementation of this Strategic

Plan of Action. The disaster management committees formed at provincial


and local level, will conduct monitoring, evaluation and coordination for the

implementation of this strategic action plan at provincial and local level.

In principle, monitoring should be conducted by the third party for independent

and impartial assessment. The concept of monitoring by third party can be

undertaken by appointing a short-term adviser.

The Strategic Plan of Action will be revised in every five years. It will be updated

if deemed necessary as per the changing context to make it relevant. All

concerned stakeholders will participate in revision of the strategic action

plan. The Strategic Action Plan will be updated in the following situations:

l In case of changes in law and policy of the Government

l In the necessity of harmonization with Global Framework and

Development

l In the need of including learning after major disaster event

l On the basis of conclusion and recommendation of five-yearly review

This Strategic Plan of Action has been enforced by the sanction of the

Executive Committee as per the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management

Act, 2017, Section 8(c).
