Improved community flood resilience: Nepal impact brief 2018-2024

Nepal normally experiences monsoon-induced flooding every year between June and September. However, the monsoon season now regularly extends through to October with the country's diverse topography and insufficient infrastructure amplify the impact of intense rainfall, leading to riverine flooding in vulnerable areas. 

This brief details Practical Action's efforts to protect the development achieved in these vulnerable communities and regions and reduce future losses through effective disaster risk reduction, early warning systems, and sustainable land use specifically designed to reduce the cyclical impact of this phenomenon.
