An integrated study of rainfall-and earthquake-induced disasters in the Himalayan watershed for a strategic development of disaster education system in the region

通过该项目取得的两项主要研究成果是：1)利用微震测量对尼泊尔加德满都山谷的地面响应分析进行了详细研究；2)尼泊尔中部小喜马拉雅山脉的滑坡测绘和灾害评估。此外，在三年的研究期间，采取了在尼泊尔中小学开展学校灾害教育的举措，并定期组织专业会议，通过学校灾害教育讨论灾害管理的各个方面。此外，一个不仅在尼泊尔，而且通过南亚区域合作联盟(SAARC)灾害管理中心(SDMC)在南亚国家建立的灾害专业人员和政策制定者网络正在建设之中，预计将把灾害管理问题纳入其中，特别是在整个喜马拉雅地区由降雨和地震引起的灾害领域。

Two major research achievements through this project are : 1) a detailed study of ground response analysis in Kathmandu Valley of Nepal using microtremor survey and 2) landslide mapping and hazard assessment in Lesser Himalayan mountains of central Nepal. Additionally, in the three years of research period, initiatives have been taken towards adopting school disaster education in Primary and Secondary schools of Nepal along with organization of regular professional meetings to discuss various aspects of disaster management through school disaster education. Moreover, a network of disaster professionals and policy makers not only in Nepal but also in the South Asian nations through the SAARC(South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) Disaster Management Center(SDMC) is in building process, which can be expected to integrate the disaster management issues, particularly in the field of rainfall-and earthquake-induced disasters in the whole Himalayan Region.
