About Disaster Preparedness & Trauma Wing

Nepal sits at the crossroads of seismic, climatic, and humanitarian risk, making disaster preparedness not a luxury but a necessity. NHAFN's Disaster Preparedness & Trauma Wing focuses on the before, during, and after of disasters, building community resilience before crisis strikes, providing trauma-informed care during emergencies, and supporting psychological and physical recovery long after headlines fade. Where the Emergency Response Wing deploys fast, DPTW builds deep.

 

Distinction from Emergency Response Wing While ERW is NHAFN's rapid-deployment force activated during emergencies, DPTW operates across the full disaster cycle:

                         ERW                     DPTW
Focus           Rapid response                 Preparedness + recovery
When          During emergency  Before & after
Core skill                 Triage & deployment                    Trauma care & resilience
Output     Immediate relief          Long-term recovery

 

Both wings operate in close coordination during major disaster events.
