Himalayan flood & debris-flow board

Public situational awareness for the Aug 2026 Nepal–Tibet border glacial collapse / flash-flood disaster: stacked humanitarian updates, NASA satellite layers, and USGS regional reports — for emergency-response education.

Method. We do not invent casualty numbers — read figures only in linked primary sources (they change quickly). Satellite imagery is near-real-time (NASA GIBS, typically hours after observation), not a live camera feed. Rescue videos are embedded from publishers’ public YouTube channels; we do not re-host copyrighted wire photos (Reuters/AP/AFP) — those open on the publisher site. USGS initially reported earthquake-like signals; later analysis associated some shaking with glacial collapse / debris flow — see USGS event pages. Educational desk only. Independent NGO — not a UN agency; IERRTA is not claiming an on-the-ground Nepal mission on this page.

Field rescue media from world outlets

Curated BBC, Al Jazeera, ABC, CBS, WION and other public rescue / aerial packages, plus open-license satellite stills. Copyright stays with each publisher.

How continuous update works

  • Archive feeds/crisis/nepal.json stacks entries (never wipe history).
  • Hourly local job + optional api/crisis-refresh.php merge public RSS (Nepal / flood / Himalaya keywords).
  • Satellite tiles refresh when you change the date; GIBS publishes new days as processing completes.
