It is our pleasure to invite you for the Nepal Disaster Resilience Event on the 17th of April 2025
Natural hazards are increasingly common threats for vulnerable houses and citizens of countries from the global south. Over 1 billion people in the global south live are vulnerable to hazards due to the lack of coping mechanisms of poorly built houses in highly exposed areas. Nepal is the 4th most vulnerable country in the world, and is frequently impacted by floods, earthquakes and landslides.
During this event, we share the latest insights that contribute to the resilience of Nepal. We will discuss the latest hazard modeling and forecasting techniques, our understanding of post-disaster reconstruction after flood and earthquake affected areas and disaster resilient infrastructure. Panel members from the University of Twente and Tribhuvan University share their insights based on their continued engagement in research and development projects in Nepal. Each panel starts with a short introduction by the panel members and includes space of interaction with the audience and between the panel members. Join us and learn how different efforts contribute to the disaster resilience of Nepal!
