Nepal – 2017 Work Plan Capacity Assessment Continue mapping the domestic SF assets and capability (what, where, for how long, how many), including on demolition/clearing capacity. This should inform Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) on deployment of foreign military assets which would be required.

Nepal – 2017 Work Plan Scientists, NSET and MOHA, SF, OCHA and others to refine and localise the EQ scenario and Key Immediate Needs. Continue using joint scenario for civil-military exercises and to inform one joint contingency plan for Government/military and international partners.

Nepal – 2017 Work Plan Response modalities: SF to work on logistics challenges, including flying in the hills/mountains.

Nepal – 2017 Work Plan Coordination: Update the MNMCC coordination mechanism and reflect the proposed structure in the new NDRF. National Guidelines on International Assistance to reinforce linkage with SF. The one-stop-shop in the Philippines could be a good practice.
