Designed for mission-critical coordinated relief by instantly matching needs with resources, aligning volunteers with precision, and optimizing logistics
Nepal has asked one specific thing of the world's travellers.
MoFA: the Ministry and its missions are working with friendly countries to confine travel advisories ONLY to flood-affected areas and to highlight that the rest of the country remains open and safe for travel.
A blanket advisory removes income from guides, porters, lodge owners and drivers in districts the flood never touched, the same households that absorb displaced relatives.
One is a national energy problem measured in years and billions. The other is how a farmer in Rasuwa reaches a market, a clinic or a school measured in weeks, and in relatively small money.
Fire Prevention Week starts today.
Sheltering. Donations intake. Debris crews with the right certifications. Re-entry documentation. None of that is a suppression problem.
