When Nepal's annual Earthquake Safety Day rolls around next January 16, the National Society for Earthquake Technology‐Nepal plans a weeklong program of earthquake drills by school children, a safety exhibitions risk management symposium, and a report on the achievements of the Kathmandu Valley Earthquake Risk Management Project. The 18‐month project of NSET‐Nepal and GeoHazards International has several objectives: assess earthquake risk and devise an action plan to manage the risk; reduce vulnerability of Kathmandu Valley's approximately 650 public schools; raise public awareness; and build local institutions that can sustain the work of the project.
