A multidisciplinary approach to disaster risk reduction in Nepal integrates geology, engineering, climate science, and community-based planning to address complex hazard environments. By combining hazard mapping, geotechnical assessments, and remote-sensing technologies, risk identification becomes more accurate. Socio-economic analyses and local capacity-building further strengthen resilience in vulnerable regions. This integrated framework supports sustainable, evidence-based decision-making for reducing disaster impacts nationwide.
