The Kathmandu Valley in Nepal is one of the examples of earthquake vulnerable city in the world. The historical world heritage has continued to develop a city of urbanization as the center of politics, the economy and society. It is obvious that it will be a massive disaster in a case of an earthquake like the devastating earthquake in 1934. This paper focused on Community-Based Disaster Management (CBDM), especially an empirical study on utilization of risk assessment map through a community town-watching exercise and installation of awareness billboards in three targeted communities. This article provides an insight into CBDM related policies of the Government of Nepal, and effectiveness of community involvement for enhancing community-based disaster management.
