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

本项目的主要研究成果是：1)利用微震测量对尼泊尔加德满都谷地的地面反应进行了详细研究；2)尼泊尔中部小喜马拉雅山脉的滑坡测绘和危害评估。此外，在三年的研究期间，已采取主动行动，在尼泊尔的中小学采用学校灾害教育，并定期组织专业会议，讨论通过学校灾害教育进行灾害管理的各个方面。此外，透过南亚区域合作联盟（SAARC）灾害管理中心（SDMC），不仅在尼泊尔，也在南亚各国建立灾害专家与决策者网络，可望整合灾害管理议题，特别是整个喜马拉雅地区的降雨与地震灾害。

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.
