One-day orientation and sharing workshop on Disaster Inventory/Information Management System in Nepal (Nepal DesInventar) in Kathmandu
One-day orientation and sharing workshop on Disaster Inventory/Information Management System in Nepal (Nepal DesInventar) was held on December 09, 2014 at Alpine Food Land, Battisputali Kathmandu. The workshop was jointly organized by Golden Gate International College and National Society for Earthquake Technology-Nepal (NSET).
