In June, a team of CEDIM researchers analyzed the impacts of the earthquake in Nepal on April 25 in a two-week field mission. The main focus of the field mission was shelter after the earthquake. With a survey on household-level, the researchers investigated vulnerability to being displaced, information needs and decision processes to seek shelter. During their field mission, the CEDIM team with Dr. Bijan Khazai, Dr. Susan A. Brink, and Trevor Girard from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology KIT and Johannes Anhorn from the Southasia Institute, Heidelberg University, closely collaborated with their colleagues of the National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET) and of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute EERI (link to the report 4).
