It includes estimation of building collapse probability and casualties due to different scenario earthquakes, and measuring the capacity of local people to cope with the earthquake disaster in Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City (LSMC), Nepal. Building damage and collapse probabilities are estimated for individual buildings considering their conditions in addition to height, construction types and earthquake intensity using an existing damage matrix. Using an empirical relation between building collapse probability and population distribution, established by HAZUS, casualties are estimated for different earthquakes in different time of the day. The level of public awareness, preparedness and capacity are analyzed from the information received by interviewing local people.
