Abstract

This study performs district and local administrative level multi-hazard zonation of Nepal. As multiple natural hazards are frequent, and their losses are enormous, multi-hazard zonation maps can provide important insights before the occurrence of natural hazards so that effective countermeasures and preparedness efforts can be designed and implemented. To this end, weightage-based multi-hazard zonation of Nepal is performed considering 27,482 independent natural hazard events. We considered 16 natural hazards to perform multi-hazard zonation. The multi-hazard maps prepared in this study highlight that the south-eastern and south-central Nepal depicts a higher level of multi-hazard compared with other regions of the country. However, the local-level multi-hazard zonation outlines highly scattered multi-hazard levels, even in adjoining villages and municipalities.

摘要

这项研究对尼泊尔进行了地区和地方行政级别的多灾区划。由于多种自然灾害频繁发生且损失巨大，因此多灾害分区图可以在自然灾害发生之前提供重要的见识，因此可以设计和实施有效的对策和备灾工作。为此，考虑到27,482个独立的自然灾害事件，对尼泊尔进行了基于权重的多灾区划。我们考虑了16种自然灾害来执行多灾种分区。本研究准备的多灾地图突显出，与该国其他地区相比，尼泊尔的东南部和中南部地区所面临的多灾水平更高。但是，本地多灾种分区概述了高度分散的多灾种级别，
