Summary

Achham district faces high landslide risk causing significant annual financial losses. To mitigate monsoon disaster impacts, the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act 2074 (Amended Act 2076) has been implemented, emphasizing monsoon preparedness and response plans. The monsoon preparedness and response plan has been prepared and implemented over the past two years, with the 2081 plan recently approved. Heavy and unseasonal rains are expected to impact the district, particularly affecting areas near Karnali River, Kailas River, and Buddhiganga. Early information systems have been developed to reduce damage, and efforts are based on the National Disaster Response Action Plan 2070 (First Amendment 2075).
