The paper focuses on the outcome of the author&#8217;s continuous interaction with local community since 1985 on the need for extended earthquake safety initiatives through stakeholders&#8217; easy access to technical assistance and financial resources. The most neglected aspect in the earthquake initiatives of Nepal is the lack of state ownership and lack of dedicated responsible institutions resulting in a massive toll of life and property. It is time to use the opportunity created by the April 2015 earthquake.]]></p></abstract>

<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="pt"><p><![CDATA[RESUMO Este artigo é elaborado para chamar a atenção da comunidade local e internacional, incluindo o governo e os doadores para se preparar para a reforma política e criar um ambiente para investir em iniciativas pró-ativas de segurança de terremoto antes do próximo terremoto se iniciar. O artigo enfoca os resultados da interação contínua do autor com a comunidade local desde 1985 sobre a necessidade de iniciativas de segurança ampliada de terremoto através do fácil acesso das partes interessadas à assistência técnica e recursos financeiros. O aspecto mais negligenciado nas iniciativas para prevenção contra terremotos do Nepal é a falta de propriedade estatal e a falta de uma instituição responsável neste assunto, resultando numa perda maciça de vidas e prejuízos às propriedades. É tempo de aproveitar a oportunidade criada pelo terremoto de abril de 2015.]]></p></abstract>
