Nepal faces unprecedented disaster risks. People are being exposed to more frequent and severe hazards. They are becoming more vulnerable to the impact of natural physical phenomena and less able to cope with it. While hazards may be increasing in frequency and severity, their impacts are exacerbated by a series of dynamic processes, including population growth, increasing poverty and marginalization, environmental degradation, poor planning and preparedness, and the impacts of climate change.

It is anticipated that this report will prove a useful reference for training, planning and implementation of community-based disaster risk reduction initiatives in other vulnerable poor communities.
