 Necessity of New Act
 Natural disasters such as floods and landslides have long been a routine
phenomenon in Nepal.
 With unpredicted earthquakes, frequent flooding, manifold landslides and
multiple hazards and disasters striking every year,
 Records for the past 46 years show that natural disasters have claimed on
average nearly 900 lives every year, have rendered hundreds of thousands of
families homeless and caused extensive damage to property.
 Nepal’s topography increases the propensity for hazards like earthquakes,
riverine floods, flash floods and landslides, the reasons these hazards turn
into disasters are all man-made.
 Nepal is one of the most disaster-prone countries in South Asia
