About Hazards

Nepal is a country of diversified topography and has very rugged terrain. Although the diversity beautifies the country, it makes the country vulnerable to various kinds of hazards. Nepal lies in the most earthquake-prone regions underneath which the Indian and Eurasian plates meet. The rugged landscape of Nepal poses the threat of landslides, flood, inundation in the flatlands, avalanches in the mountainous region, etc. The change in the elevation of the land bring large meteorological changes, in the atmosphere, resulting in the occurrence of severe thunderstorm and lightning, hail storms, forest fires, snowstorms etc.

FAQ

Lightning is a natural electrical discharge that occurs in the atmosphere, often producing dramatic visual displays such as flashes of light, heat, and sound. While most lightning occurs within clouds, some strikes reach the ground, causing significant damage. Lightning is particularly dangerous because it can result in fatalities, injuries, fires, and property damage, especially to tall structures like transmission towers, communication towers, and buildings.

When lightning strikes, it can cause severe damage to physical structures, including fires that destroy buildings, or cracks that compromise the integrity of the structure. Lightning also has the potential to destroy electrical and electronic equipment beyond repair. Communication systems, power grids, and other infrastructure can be impacted. In industrial settings, lightning-induced downtime or data loss can cause significant financial setbacks.

In developing countries, the impact of lightning is more severe due to a lack of knowledge, resources, and governmental intervention. These countries often suffer higher casualty rates and property damage because of insufficient lightning protection systems and the lack of awareness about the risks associated with lightning strikes. Lightning strikes in isolated areas also tend to be underreported, further increasing the undetected losses.

Each year, lightning kills over 110 people in Nepal alone. Globally, the economic losses due to lightning strikes are estimated in billions of dollars annually. The damage is particularly devastating to infrastructure, such as transmission towers, communication towers, and tall buildings, as they are more susceptible to lightning strikes.
