Government plans temporary housing for Rasuwa flood victims

Authorities have decided to move forward with the construction of temporary housing for families displaced by the flood on 10 August along the river in Rasuwa. According to the official decision, transitional shelters will be built in coordination with local bodies and non-governmental organisations. Partner organisations will be required to construct the shelters according to specified standards on land made available by the government. In addition, local bodies have been instructed via correspondence to compile details of actual beneficiary families in the affected areas to confirm the exact quantity of houses needed. The disaster risk reduction and management framework guided the decision-making process for the housing initiative in Kathmandu. Further administrative steps will rely on the verified statistics gathered by local governance units across the affected zones.
