CASE 2
Introduction
An earthquake refers to the shaking of the surface of the earth, causing from an unexpected
discharge of energy in the lithosphere of earth, which makes the seismic wave. In month of
April, The 7.8 magnitude earthquake knock Nepal resulting ruthless demolition in fourteen out
of seventy five cities in this nation. After the 2 weeks, one more 7.3 magnitude earthquake strike
in Nepal, declining the refined circumstances. About 8,891 citizens were recognized dead. In the
urgent results of the tragedy, the Nepal government initiated relief operations at the large scale
with the help from civilized members. More than hundred international search and rescue teams,
and medicinal teams came in Nepal within a day. Local community, volunteers, group of young
people, the private sectors and nearest countries made the efforts. As the earthquake affected
mainly remote areas like mountain village, the various rescue operations had place in
tremendously demanding environment. Above 450 supporting organizations responded to the
emergencies. In the following parts the result of the natural disaster, action taken by State,
industries and third sectors during civilized crises and aspects is discussed and critically
examined.
Results of natural disaster-
Natural climate is unavoidable event which cause the disasters. Nepal faced earthquake at 7.8
Richter scale. This natural event affects various tangible and intangible morals of societies
(Wang and Fialko, 2015). Among the natural hazards that happen frequently in, earthquake is by
far the most serious one. Organically, Nepal is measured to lie on the seismic sector that
experiences numerous earthquakes. As the outcome, earthquakes of various magnitudes happen
almost every year and have resulted substantial damages of lives on various events. It is found by

the department of Mines and Geology, the earthquake of more than or equal to 5.0 on the Richter
scale have happened at minimum in a year in Nepal (Martin, Hough and Hung, 2015).
Nepal is landlocked nation located between India and China (Hayes, et. al, 2015). The population
of Nepal is over 28.5 million. Nepal has area of 47,181 square kilometers. It has .3 % and .03 %
of the area of Asia and whole world. As per the geographical condition of Nepal, the shape of
country is rectangular having the length of approximately 880 kilometers east-west and range
differs from 145 to 243 kilometers north south (Wang, et. al, 2015). The landscape of Nepal
composed of hill and steep eight highest highlands of the world. Nepal is located on the Alpine
belt or Alpine Himalayan, where seventeen percent of largest earthquake of world happens as the
Indian plate drives upward in the Eurasian plates, resulting the excessive trauma to make in
outside of earth, only to be relieved by the earthquakes. In same way, the Kathmandu valley,
which is the capital of Nepal, will have numerous damages in occasion of disastrous earthquake
as it reclines on place of olden sea cradle, meanwhile floors consist of loose soil sediments. In
this way Nepal faces various disasters. This disaster may cause of natural disasters in the
neighbor countries such as India or China. The high level of disasters may convert into risk
easily for itself and for neighbor countries like India and China. Thus, the crisis may be the result
of a clashes between States or cultural conflict in a State (Grandin, et. al, 2015).
