Summary

The Strengthening Urban Resilience and Engagement (SURE) programme in Nepal focuses on enhancing urban disaster resilience through detailed urban assessments (VCA). The guidelines aim to help local authorities systematically evaluate and address urban vulnerabilities, integrating disaster risk reduction into urban planning. The assessment process includes data review, collection, analysis, and resilience planning, emphasizing the importance of social networks and adapting the concept of 'community' to urban settings. Developed in collaboration with ISET-Nepal, Lutheran World Relief, and others, these tools align with Nepal's disaster management strategies, aiming to create safer, more resilient urban environments.
