NSET-NepalMethodology for Different Activities
Items Base Line (Prior to Project)
Project Achievement Remarks
Methodology
for hazard
assessment
Earthquake
Hazard Map
Existed for
Nepal
1. Simplified interpretative EQ hazard map prepared for KV based on 1934 EQ
2. Simplified interpretative liquefaction susceptibility map for KV
Use of
Existing
information
No new
research
Methodology
for loss
estimates
None used
for KV
1. 1934 Bihar-Nepal earthquake taken as scenario earthquake
2. ATC-13/15 used for KV scenario earthquake (for MMI IX) and loss estimation made for critical facilities and casualty. Electricity damage map Telecommunication Water supply Road/Bridges
3. Casualty estimated for empirical consideration
4. Hospital hazard map created
Found to very
simple in the case
of the lack of in-
built data, building
inventory
Replicated
under RADIUS in
9 cities
NSET-NepalMethodology for Different Activities
Items Base Line (Prior to Project)
Project Achievement Remarks
Methodology
for writing
earthquake
scenario
None 1. Loss estimation results translated into simple language understood by common man in the form of text
(Target audience: common people, teacher, student, decision maker, municipal authority, policy maker)
Found to be
very strong tool
for awareness
raising
Methodology
for
developing
action plan
for
earthquake
risk
management
None used
for KV
1. Interaction process for involving manager of critical facilities in developing doable action
Replicated
under RADIUS in
9 cities

Items Base Line
(Prior to Project)
Project Achievement Remarks
Institutional
Development
NSET as a ERM
center in Nepal
None 1. Credible institution with mission/vision statements and strategic objectives
2. Trusted by all (Govt., NGO, Donors) OFDA JICA UNCRD OCHA etc.
3. Very wide national/international outreach of NSET
Could implement JICA program “The Study on Earthquake Disaster Mitigation in The Kathmandu Valley, kingdom of Nepal”
ADPC/AUDMP
was the starting
assistance
Fund raising None 1. In kind/cash contribution from outside AUDMP funds amounted to >60%
ADPC/AUDMP
was the starting
assistance
NSET-NepalOngoing Activities
Implementation of APIP Start September 2000 – End August 2003 Non-structural Vulnerability Reduction
• Quantitative• Qualitative • Lectures and assessment work to some
organizations SESP
• New donors like BFN, GHI and Others Awareness raising
• Publications• Radio• TV• Articles in Newspapers
NSET-NepalLessons Learned
Awareness raising became part of all project components
Low-tech approach was optimal Emphasis on community level work is
important SESP concept is very effective NGO status both helped and hindered
project implementation Institutional development is a long-term
process
NSET-NepalChallenges
Replication in Kathmandu Valley, Outside Valley, Outside Nepal
Manpower Constraint Lack of Policies Building Permit Process Earthquake Forum Problems
Many Actors, No Work
False Sense of Competition Institutional Problem
Internal External
NSET-NepalWhat Should We Continue Doing?
Policy Work-shop (With ADPC Support)
Training
Impact Assessment
Community Level Works
Awareness Raising Video
RADIUS Assessment for 58 Municipalities
