This book treats earthquakes with a special focus on the Ghorka earthquake which in April 2015 hit central parts of Nepal. Originating from this disastrous event and based on contributions by international experts, various aspects mainly related to earthquakes are closely examined. The topics range from the geological and geophysical background of seismicity, to a detailed inventory of damage caused by the earthquake, ways of damage prevention through earthquake-safe building and settlement, possibilities of restoration of world-heritage buildings and, finally, strategies of technical and medical relief and questions associated with public life and economy in a high-risk seismic zone. Based on contributions from various fields, the book intends to present the state of the art in all earthquake-related fields and to illustrate future ways of perceiving risk, prevention of damage, and disaster management in all parts of society, administration, and politics in Nepal. Beyond the specific disaster in Nepal, these scientific contributions will have wider implications for how societies can and should deal with disasters in general.
