Summary

This document is a report of Nepal’s earthquake disaster risk reduction Situation report, 25 April 2015. The data shows that there is a very high vulnerability of both people and structures in Nepal: much damage is caused by small‐scale disasters, caused essentially by hydro‐meteorological hazards such as floods and landslides. It should be noted that landslides and floods killed more than 4,100 and 3,300 people, respectively, in 33 years. This also confirms the extreme vulnerability of people and infrastructure to large‐scale events, such as the 2015 earthquake.
