Abstract:
On April 25, 2015 and May 12, 2015, two high-magnitude earthquakes (Mw 7.8 Gorkha earthquake and Mw 7.3 aftershock) struck Nepal. These events initiated landslides, rockfalls and avalanches; flattened houses in hundreds of villages; and severely damaged structures throughout the central region of Nepal. In all, 31 of Nepals 75 districts were affected, 14 of which have been classified as most-affected. The Sindhupalchok District, in which the Duguna Gadi villages lie, is one of the 14 most affected districts. Together the earthquakes resulted in approximately 8,790 fatalities, the injury of 22,300 people, 750,000 damaged or destroyed homes, and lost livelihoods of thousands of people (Government of Nepal, 2015). After the immediate emergency response phase slowed by the fall of 2015, Engineers Without Borders USA was contacted to evaluate geohazards at 14 locations including 13 villages in the Duguna Gadi region. The focus of the field reconnaissance was to work side by side with Nepali geoprofessionals and establish a methodology for evaluating geohazards so that communities could rebuild or resettle in lower risk areas. This presentation reports the results of a one-week field visit to the Duguna Gadi area during November-December 2015 by three geoprofessionals with Engineers Without Borders USA who worked directly with three Nepali geoprofessionals to observe the effects of the earthquakes so that recommendations could be made to reestablish in lower risk areas communities that lost homes, farms, infrastructure and livelihoods. Preliminary monitoring results and effects of the recent monsoon season, as well as potential next-steps, will also be discussed.
