Summary

Nepal's geography makes it prone to various disasters, and the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake had a significant impact. After the earthquake, affected people gained some disaster awareness, but those less affected remained unaware of potential consequences. A study in Pokhara City, at high risk of disasters, aimed to understand residents' risk perception and preparedness. Findings revealed a lack of awareness and education about disaster consequences, with many considering disasters as acts of God. This suggests a need for better disaster management plans and policies in Pokhara City.
