Afghanistan faces significant natural hazard risks, including earthquakes, floods, droughts, landslides, sandstorms, and avalanches. These recurrent events are compounded by extreme winter conditions, particularly in mountainous areas that make up around 63% of the country. Many rural households lack adequate protection, and limited capacity within government institutions further exacerbates the vulnerabilities of affected or displaced families.
