A 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal on April 25, 2015. It was the worst earthquake to strike Nepal in 80 years and was followed by a series of more than 400 major aftershocks through November 2015. It’s thought that another large earthquake could occur at any time in the future due to the region’s geographic location. The area is also vulnerable to other disasters (flooding, landslides, and drought), which are predicted to be more severe and frequent due to global climate change.
