Summary

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the involvement of the local level in disaster and climate resilience planning, focusing on the Neelkantha municipality. It begins by introducing the municipality's background and highlights its vulnerability to various forms of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, lightning, road accidents, fires, winds, droughts, and animal threats (such as monkeys and foxes). The report also addresses the negative impact of climate change as perceived by the local community. The primary goal of this plan is to mitigate the loss and risks associated with disasters, and to address the identified issues through a participatory process, resulting in a comprehensive plan. The plan aims to enhance livelihoods, as well as integrate disaster risk reduction activities into development plans.
