Heavy monsoon rainfall during 10-13 August 2017 triggered severe flash floods and landslides in 32 out of 75 districts in Nepal (see Figures 1 and 2). An Initial Rapid Assessment conducted in 28 districts revealed that floods and landslides claimed 141 lives, injured 117 persons, displaced 460,900 people, and left 24 missing. Damage to houses, infrastructures, and productive resources was severe;roughly 65,000 houses were completely destroyed and 120,100 houses were partially damaged (Nepal Red Cross Society, IRA Compilation Report, 20 August 2017).
NeKSAP undertook a 72-hour assessment of the flood using satellite images, the IRA, secondary data, and field information. The results indicated that Saptari, Rautahat,Mahottari, Bardiya and Banke were most flood-affected districts, followed
by Sarlahi, Siraha, Parsa and Dhanusha.
