This paper proposes a microsimulation approach to estimate the overall cost and distributional impact of disasters rapidly.

This report presents the findings of a study on loss and damage resulting from the Melamchi flood of June 15, 2021. The flood resulted from a combination of anthropogenic and climatic factors that occurred along the Melamchi River Basin.

This brief offers insights into the Inter-Province Resource Pooling mechanism in western Nepal to leverage existing resources in an efficient and predictive manner and improve coordination among stakeholders in the event of a mega-disaster.

This technical report assesses the string of events that triggered Nepal’s Melamchi River floods in 2021 and highlights threats to the catchment area that provides vital drinking water to Kathmandu’s fast-growing population.

The Strengthening Urban Preparedness, Earthquake Preparedness, and Response in Western Region of Nepal (SUPER) Project worked to empower provincial and local governing units and to enhance their earthquake preparedness and urban readiness.

This report investigates key climate change hazards affecting Nepali households and livelihoods, and analyses their distributional impacts by combining spatial distributions of exposure with measures of socio-economic vulnerability and coping ability.

Due to climate change, the future Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) risk is more likely in the Himalayas. Despite several GLOF studies, little attention has been given to the combined or cascading GLOF events.

This seismic risk profile of Nepal, produced by the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) Foundation summarizes key metrics of seismic risk, allowing stakeholders in risk management to get an overview of the risk in the country.
