Disaster affects all but poor, old and children are more vulnerable. In context of Nepal, young people migrate from home town to capital/abroad for study/foreign job, leaving old and child at home to cope with the entire situation, including natural disaster. Regarding local governance we have village development committee at local level and district development committee at district level after central government who looks after over all development and management of local level, from last 15 years, it is not in well function. So, I think to improve disaster risk reduction at local level young people should be attract to live at their own place, building resilient society. And there should be representation of local people in local governance and requires proper implementation of bye-laws. (For example: we know Kathmandu as hot spot of Earthquake, which is also one of the most crowded cities where haphazard construction and landuse going on)
