Nepal to Enhance Flood Warnings and Mitigation for Glacial Lake Hazards
Nepal has announced plans to enhance flood warning systems and mitigate risks from glacial lake outbursts. The government aims to improve disaster preparedness through two key initiatives, including the GLOF Sanjibani Project, which will invest nearly 50 million US dollars from 2026 to 2033 to benefit over 385,000 people. Additionally, a project to install flood warning systems across six major river basins will receive 7.54 million US dollars and is set to continue until 2028. These efforts build on previous work to reduce flood risks and aim to protect vulnerable communities in mountainous regions.
