The Volunteer Action Plan for Disaster Preparedness and Community Engagement is a comprehensive strategy formulated to enhance disaster management capabilities and promote community resilience through active volunteer engagement. This plan is aligned with the Disaster Risk Reduction National Strategic Action Plan 2018-2030, a national guiding document formulated by the Ministry of Home (MoH), Nepal Government. The National Strategic Action Plan (NSAP) draws from the lessons learned from past disasters such as the 2015 earthquake and the 2014 and 2017 floods, as well as the international Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. The National Strategic Action Plan outlines four priorities: understanding disaster risks, strengthening the disaster risk governance system at various levels, promoting greater resilience through risk reduction information-based investments, and strengthening disaster preparedness for effective response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation, and reconstruction. To support the successful implementation of this plan, the “Action Plan for Disaster Management Volunteers – a strategic guidebook” has been developed at the community level of three wards (15, 17 & 27) of the Kathmandu Metropolitan City. This community-level guidebook for disaster management volunteer engagement and mobilization outlines strategies, guidelines, and specific activities for involving volunteers in disaster risk reduction efforts. It has been developed for a tenure of four years (FY 2080-2084) and will undergo regular reviews for further adjustments and improvements.
