Themes
The conference is designed as a three-day event with a field trip to
the reconstruction sites nearby Kathmandu Valley. The first day will
be devoted to learning from the past in which important operators of
earthquake risk management initiatives such as the government
ministries, academia, private sector business, international
development partners and UN system will deliberate on the works
done so far, The second day, the conference will listen to exciting
accounts of response to the Gorkha earthquake in terms for rescue
and relief to early recovery, PDNA researches and development of
approaches for reconstruction. A critical evaulation will help develop
a consensus on the positive as well as negative learning which will
pave way ahead for developing elements of Nepal's approaches, broad contents, and emphasis in the program of earthquake disaster
risk management for Nepal. Nepal seeks to develop programs and
refine strategies for the next 12 years based upon the lessons learned
and national needs to achieve DRM targets of SFDRR by 2030.
We invite pertinent papers from experts and professionals from relevant
fields.
