Hazard and Vulnerability

• The country has experienced 118 large-scale
  disasters since 1954 which has resulted in the
  killing of 21,346 and has affected 10,989,211
  individuals. Three decades of rigorous war has
  further deteriorated the already vulnerable
  condition of the people. Poor infrastructure and
  lack of awareness has made people more vulnerable
  and prone to disasters
