Nepal Floods Expose Gaps in Warning, China Data Sharing
Nepal's recent floods, triggered by a glacial collapse near the China-Nepal border, left over 3,000 people missing. Dharam Raj Uprety, chief executive of Nepal’s National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, highlighted the lack of effective early warning systems due to inadequate weather monitoring and transboundary data sharing with China. Authorities are now drafting a roadmap to improve these systems.
