1. Introduction and Objective of the Session
Southern part (plain “Terai” area) of Nepal is one of the most flood prone areas in the South Asia. In this August, the worst rains in 15 years struck Nepal, which caused severe flooding in the Terai with huge impacts on livelihoods, food security and nutrition due to losses in lives, assets, housing, infrastructure including water and sanitation, food stocks and agricultural production. An initial rapid assessment report of August 2017 flood shows that more than 140 people were killed, 460,000 people were displaced and about 65,000 houses completely and 120,100 houses partially destroyed in the Terai of Nepal.
Flood disasters can cause serious damage such as loss of lives and destruction of infrastructure. Therefore, flood disaster risk mitigation plans should be properly prepared and implemented for future floods considering socio-economic changes as well as flood impact situation of local communities. To develop such plans, however, requires evidence-based risk assessment strategies to quantify and mitigate flood risk.
The main aim of this session is to transfer the knowledge and experience on flood prevention, preparedness and response, which may help in disaster risk reduction activities in Nepal. The objectives of this session are:
– Introduce basic concept of flood modeling, flood hazard mapping and risk mapping
– Introduce basic concept on preparedness and response
– Exchange opining and ideas between inter-personnel.
2. Session summary
The Nepal is especially vulnerable to flood disasters, however by sharing knowledges and experiences to better understand the flood prevention, preparedness and responses, helps to reduce risk, mitigate damage and effectively recover from a flood.
