  The Ongoing Battle for Nepal's Seismic Safety Nepal, a nation known for its breathtaking landscapes, is also no stranger to the relentless force of earthquakes. As officials in Nepal continue to assess the damage from the recent earthquake in the western part of the country, it serves as a stark reminder of the seismic vulnerability that plagues this Himalayan nation. At least 150 lives have been lost, and thousands now find themselves either homeless or reluctant to seek shelter indoors. Nepal, perched on the fault lines of two major tectonic plates, remains at the mercy of these geological forces. While the recent earthquake was classified as medium in intensity, the haunting memory of the devastating 2015 earthquake in the east, which claimed nearly 9,000 lives, looms large. This grim toll underscores the urgent need for Nepal to enhance its earthquake preparedness and resilience. Amod Mani Dixit, the director of the National Society for Earthquake Technology in Kathmandu, emp...
