The ADRRN-Earthquake Risk Management (ERM) Hub, hosted by NSET-Nepal, brought together members from Nepal, Pakistan, and Philippines to reflect on a year of collaborative action and look forward to what comes next today in a regional webinar.

Over the past year, with the objective of enhancing regional collaboration for seismic resilience, ADRRN members STAR Foundation and Foundation for Rural Development (FRD) from Pakistan, together with the Philippines Hub led by Center for Disaster Preparedness (CDP) Foundation, collaborated in the initial phase of the initiative through a series of trainings, workshops, orientations, and regional knowledge-sharing activities.

ERM hub partners STAR Foundation and FRD highlighted the urgent need to reach rural and hilly communities with practical, locally adapted tools. CDP Foundation and TAO Pilipinas reminded that when communities are genuinely consulted, they become co-designers not just beneficiaries. NSET together with ADRRN reaffirmed its commitment to continue supporting regional collaboration efforts and to further strengthen seismic resilience across Asia through knowledge exchange, capacity building, and community-centered approaches.

With this momentum and fruitful collaboration, Phase 2 is envisioned to be moving from training to demonstration, from awareness to institutionalization, from pilots to sustained systems.

The discussions emphasized not only technical solutions but also locally grounded and socially acceptable approaches to reducing disaster risks.

NSET team shared Nepalโ€™s experiences in earthquake recovery and reconstruction, including lessons on retrofitting schools, public infrastructure, and residential buildings, while emphasizing locally adaptable and community-centered earthquake risk reduction strategies.
The workshop also highlighted diverse perspectives and innovations from partner institutions. The University of the Philippines College of Engineering shared earthquake assessment tools, while Build Change presented financing approaches to support safer housing improvements for low-income communities. Technical representatives from San Remigio, Cebu LGU further enriched the discussions by sharing experiences and lessons from recent earthquake response efforts. UPA and Mapรบa University introduced the concept of engineered incremental housing, emphasizing pathways for vulnerable households to strengthen homes progressively based on available resources.

The exchange reaffirmed the importance of regional collaboration, local leadership, and knowledge sharing in advancing resilient housing and reducing earthquake risks across vulnerable communities.

The workshop brought together participants from government agencies including the Department of Mines and Geology (DMG) and Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST), along with representatives from academia, students, and practitioners. The training provided a valuable platform for knowledge sharing, technical learning, and collaboration on advancing seismic hazard understanding and aftershock forecasting within the Nepali earthquake science community.

The workshop session included a stocktaking discussion on seismic hazard assessment-related work in Nepal, followed by sessions on the ABCs of Aftershock Forecasting, introduction to Forecaster and software uploads, practical hands-on training on aftershock forecasting, and communication of aftershock forecasting.

Special sincere thanks to the USGS team, Dr. Susan Hough and Dr. Max Schneider, and the DMG team for their valuable contributions as instructors and facilitators.

A strong message echoed throughout the conference, and this session in particular highlighted that resilience can be strengthened when science connects with people, and when frontline communities remain at the center of research, innovation, and action.
Thank you to all distinguished keynote speakers, panelists, and session chairs for the insightful discussions and valuable exchanges throughout .
