There is only District Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan 2011. The main highlights of this plan are: 1) It is prepared with extensive consultations with District disaster relief committee members, UNDP, experts and with many consultation workshops in different settlements 2) Based on 40 years history of disaster records, flood and landslide is considered as the number one disaster in Dolakha 3) 21 VDCs and one municipality are considered as highly vulnerable to flood and landslide, 23 VDCs are medium vulnerable and 7 are in low vulnerable to flood and landslide in Dolakha. The estimated number of household and population that can be affected by flood and landslide are 2400 and 14400, respectively. 4) The plan consists of vulnerability and internal capacity assessment to cope with disaster, necessary resources in the district, trained manpower, available food and non food items and resources which are not available. 5) To make the response plan more effective it has formed 8 clusters and work division is also carried out with members and focal persons in each cluster. They have also prepared work plan for quick response of disaster, emergency activities and tentative budget for different activities. 1.2.1 Sector budgeting and staffing There is no specific budget allocated for GLOF activities in Dolakha district. The district is spending some fund in the name of environment and disaster management. For an example, tentative budget allocated for communication and coordination for disaster management activities is given in Table 1 which is taken from the District Disaster Preparedness and Response Plan 2011.

The biggest glacial lake of Nepal, Tsho Rolpa Glacial lake lies in the head of Rolwaling River which joins to Tama Koshi River along which there many hydropower project are coming up. Although these are in a state of self destruction we have to be careful when torrential rainfall occurs in such high areas which might trigger glacial lake outburst flood. 1.2.3 Asset inventory Asset Inventory 1) Road from Tsho Rolpa Glacial Lake to 100 km downstream: 17.3 km 2) Mountain trail from Tsho Rolpa Glacial Lake to 100 km downstream: 46.9 km 3) Highway bridge: 2 4) Truss and suspension bridges: 15 5) Irrigation canal: 16 5) Hydropower: 1 6) Buddhist Gomba: 1 1.2.4 Past extremes in the district Table 1.
