Nepal is a hotspot for geophysical and climatic hazards and prone to many kinds of natural
hazards which have occurred with increasing frequency over the previous two decades. The
disasters frequently affected the country economy and the population, damaging livelihoods, hampering sustainable development and loss of human lives. The consequences of a disaster in Nepal depend on the scale and population density in the affected area. Disasters may hit any part of terai, hilly, mountainous districts or all together, which will pose an added challenge to humanitarian responders in terms of the logistics and transportation requirements.
