#VisRisk is a tool to communicate a complete picture on disaster risk through information on exposure, hazard, vulnerability, and capacity and resources using a storytelling approach. Thank you for featuring @DDIndialive and @grrroy. Link, https://t.co/wbUEZ4rjpI

Striking contrast in Nepal: @NASA’s satellite shows forest fires spreading in 24 hrs. @NepalPoliceHQ’s data: hundreds of forest & house fire incidents in just 7 days.

3 lives lost. Kathmandu choked by smoke. Air quality worsening. Time to act.

NDRRMA Issues Public Notice on Pollution Crisis – Stakeholders Must Act Now!

@NDRRMA_Nepal

[Pradip Khatiwada @hellopradip]

Kathmandu is choking. In just 24 hours, forest fire detections across Nepal have surged — and the result? A toxic blanket of smoke suffocating the valley. This isn't just pollution, it's a crisis. 🔥 #KathmanduPollution #NepalFires #AirPollution

[Pradip Khatiwada @hellopradip]

As of 6:17 PM, Apr 2, 2025 — all air quality sensors across Kathmandu Valley are in the ‘Unhealthy’ to ‘Very Unhealthy’ range. An average AQI of 193 blankets the city. This isn’t normal. This is an air emergency. Time to declare a crisis — and ACT.

Bridging disaster science into Mural Art! This Flood Risk map uses color depth to represent forecasts from Bipad Portal, making risk communication visual and accessible. A powerful way to depict potential flood risks in an easy-to-understand format! Video,

#YouthDay

As someone from the senior generation, I am amazed by the energy, creativity & passion of nearly 50 young people, most of whom are under 30 yrs of age, working for @YILabNepal.

I’ve found that there is so much to learn from young people everywhere.

In just about a month since the start of the monsoon season, 43 people have died due to landslides and lightning strikes alone. Proactive measures and precautions are required to address the major challenges the monsoon might cause this year.

[Pradip Khatiwada @hellopradip]

The highest level of attention and coordination from all three tiers of the government is essential, with the @NDRRMA_Nepal playing a central coordinating role together with @HydrologyOf.

[Pradip Khatiwada @hellopradip]

@KajNepali @khpushkar @ND According to government sources, 58 people have died in just one month, with the majority of fatalities caused by landslides and lightning. Both of these hazards can be mitigated if addressed properly. More here, https://t.co/IkwMrb5n7Q.
