Nepal flood and landslide disaster recovery

Overview

Following the devastating Bhotekoshi-Trishuli flash floods on August 26, Nepal has transitioned from emergency search and rescue to a phase focused on rehabilitation and reconstruction. While the government previously suspended general search operations for the 5,285 people reported missing, recent reports indicate the number of missing persons stands at approximately 6,000, with the death toll exceeding 1,500.

Finance Minister Swarnim Wagle reported that the disaster, referred to as the ‘Himalayan tsunami,’ caused economic damages and losses exceeding $2.7 billion, representing roughly 10 percent of the country’s GDP. This includes $1.8 billion in physical damage and over $900 million in economic losses. To manage future risks, Nepal and the World Bank have signed a mandate agreement to explore a catastrophe bond to provide rapid access to funds following major natural disasters.

Rehabilitation efforts are underway, with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority (NDRRMA) aiming to move survivors into temporary residences within six months and provide permanent housing for 5,116 families in Rasuwa, Nuwakot, Gorkha, and Dhading within three years. Financial relief includes monthly assistance of Rs 15,000 for five months, alongside a separate process for Rs 45,000 in aid over three months. Additionally, the Nepal Red Cross Society and the Department of Building are partnering to construct 1,000 temporary shelters and 1,000 permanent homes. Infrastructure repairs have seen 18 suspension bridges along the Trishuli corridor restored to operation.
