The National Disaster Response Framework has been prepared for the effective coordination and implementation of disaster preparedness and response activities. The main purpose of this framework is to develop a clear, concise and comprehensive national disaster response framework for Nepal that can guide a more effective and coordinated national response in case of a large-scale disaster.
The scope of this framework is limited to preparedness and emergency response at national, regional, district and VDC/local level. It describes various government agencies and their responsibilities during the coordination of disaster activities.
