Disaster Resilient Communities in Nepal by 2050

Press Meet


Following the rumors that the nation would face an earthquake of a massive scale between June 22 and July 10, 2007, an interaction program with the media person was organized by NSET on June 15, 2007 to confute the rumor. In the program Mr. Surya Narayan Shrestha, Deputy Executive Director, NSET in his presentation “Earthquakes and Nepal” quoted that “there is no scientific basis to forecast quakes within short- time intervals; however it might be possible to forecast the long-term, due to study of regional seismcity and the outline of seismic zones”.

Speaking at the interaction Mr. Amod Dixit, Executive Director of NSET said that “Earthquakes can occur any day, any time, it can’t be prevented all we can do is protect ourselves from them.

The program was actively participated by the representatives from various media sources.
