Nepal: National disaster preparedness baseline assessment

The National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) provides Nepal with the essential tools and data for disaster risk monitoring while aligning recommended actions with the United Nations Development Goals and the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.

Pacific Disaster Center (PDC)’s National Disaster Preparedness Baseline Assessment (NDPBA) provides the necessary tools, scientific data, and evidence-based practice to effectively reduce disaster risk – informing decisions at the national and sub-jurisdictional levels. PDC worked in partnership with the Nepal Ministry of Home Affairs National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Agency (NDRRMA) to conduct the assessment. The findings of this analysis were compiled into a Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) Plan offering practical actions to be taken over a five-year period.
