EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Nepal is exposed to recurring seismic and hydrometeorological disaster risks. While earthquakes and floods in the recent past have claimed more lives, fires have caused the most damage to assets and investments in Nepal. The Nepal Disaster Report 2019 shows fire caused 94 per cent of the NPR 6.84 billion (USD 57.62 million) worth of disaster-induced damage in 2017–2018. While avalanches and snowstorms occur frequently in the northern high mountain ranges, dry landslides are common in the young mountains and hills, shaken more by recent earthquakes. The situation is aggravated further during the rainy season, when excessive precipitation cause heavy rainfall, inducing wet landslides, floods, debris flow and inundation. Such disasters are more destructive in the southern lowland Terai, where rainfall and accumulated water flows through rivers from the hills, causing massive floods and inundation. Terai, with its hot and humid summer climate, is also home to many vector-borne epidemics and biological disaster risks. Meanwhile, the impact of climate change is increasing the recurrence and intensity of extreme weather and climate conditions.
