KathmanduPati August 29, 2026

Kathmandu [Nepal], August 29 – Google has launched an emergency information service in Nepal to help reduce flood and disaster risks and improve public safety. A “Nepal Flash Flood Emergency Info and Updates” link has been added to Google’s homepage.

The page provides Google’s flood alerts and reports from international media outlets on the devastating floods along with maps showing affected areas.

The service is designed to deliver early flood warnings and alerts from official government agencies including Nepal’s Department of Hydrology and Meteorology and the Flood Forecasting Division to the public through Google Search and Google Maps.

The technology is expected to help people in flood-affected and high-risk areas receive timely warnings and take necessary precautions including moving to safer locations.

The initiative comes as Nepal continues to face the impact of devastating floods that have affected several areas and raised concerns over further flooding.
