🇳🇵Nepal
Nepal sits on the collision zone between the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates, making it extremely earthquake-prone. The country also faces floods, landslides, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and avalanches. The 2015 Gorkha earthquake killed nearly 9,000 people and highlighted the need for improved building standards and preparedness.
