The US ambassador to Nepal, Scott H. DeLisi, has suggested the government of Nepal to prepare proper policy and implement it to tackle the risks of 'natural' disaster in Nepal, reports the Pakistan Observer. "Nepal can learn more lessons from the Japan’s tsunami and Haiti earthquake for the preparedness," he said. He also urged the government to extend partnership with citizen and private sector to reduce the risk.
