Nepal is prone and exposed to various types of natural disasters due to her rugged and fragile geophysical structure, very high peaks, and high angle of slopes, complex geology, variable climatic conditions and active tectonic processes. Unplanned settlement, increasing population, weak economic condition and low literacy rate, the lack of coordination among agencies related to disaster management, resourceconstraint, the lack of technical manpower, the lack of public awareness, very remote, rural and difficult geo-physical situation of the country, absence of modern technology are major obstacles to cope with these natural disasters in Nepal. This project involves establishing the disaster risks in the marginalized communities.
