Summary

This study quantifies disaster resilience at Nepal’s village level, primarily using census data. Guided by the Disaster Resilience of Place (DROP) model, 22 variables were selected as indicators of social, economic, community, infrastructure, and environmental resilience.

The study provides a geospatial and visual depiction of community disaster resilience across Nepal. The distribution and pattern of Nepal’s CDRI could inform policymaking, resource allocation, and disaster management among government officials and non-governmental organizations that are focused on improving future outcomes across the nation.
