    A group of approximately 10 people, appearing to be tourists or visitors, are gathered in an urban plaza or courtyard in what appears to be Kathmandu, Nepal, based on the distinctive architecture including traditional Newari-style buildings, brick structures, and a small stupa visible in the background. One person wearing a white shirt and lanyard appears to be acting as a guide, gesturing and speaking to the group. The setting shows a mix of old traditional Nepali architecture and more modern buildings.

    Marines from the III Marine Expeditionary Force participated in a Vulnerability Tour/Earthquake Walk Sept. 9 as part of the Pacific Resilience Disaster Response Exercise and Exchange field training exercise. The purpose of the vulnerability tour was to familiarize participants with different building typologies, observe the evolution of various urban developments and vulnerabilities that currently exist, as well as identify existing resources which could be invaluable during a disaster. The National Society for Earthquake Technology – Nepal conducted the tour. Pacific Resilience brings together civilian and military personnel from the United States and Nepal, as well as international stakeholders, to discuss emergency management, preparedness and response measures to an earthquake impacting Kathmandu Valley.
