by 2030.
Natural disasters are increasing in frequency and severity, making it essential to shift from reactive response to proactive preparedness. The urgency is amplified by the climate crisis, with global warming projected to rise by 1.5°C by 2030, leading to more frequent disasters, food insecurity, public health risks, and displacement.
1
Disaster management in low-income, highly vulnerable countries is predominantly reactive, leading to higher casualties and economic losses.
2
Current strategies often lack robust data, making it challenging to effectively anticipate and mitigate disaster impacts.
3
Disaster management activities in developing countries, like Nepal, are often carried out in silos, leading to fragmented and less effective responses.
4
Broad, community-wide disaster management strategies increase risks for the most vulnerable households by not addressing individual needs.
5
Without household-specific vulnerability assessments, disaster risk is generalized, neglecting unique household characteristics.
6
Existing early warning systems lack customization for individual households, making timely and precise warnings essential for effective disaster mitigation.
