Summary

The Monsoon Preparedness and Response Plan (MPRP) 2022 for Kanchanpur District addresses the district's heightened vulnerability to monsoonal disasters due to its diverse topography. The Chure mountain range in the north triggers flash floods that cascade into the Terai region, exacerbating the impact of heavy rains. Major rivers such as the Mahakali, Doda, and Machheli frequently overflow, causing severe flooding, erosion, and degradation of agricultural fields. The plan focuses on strengthening disaster management systems across all administrative levels, enhancing community preparedness, and implementing proactive measures to mitigate flood risks. By prioritizing these efforts, the MPRP aims to safeguard lives, livelihoods, and critical infrastructure in the district.
