In addition, four predicted Glacial Lake Outburst Flood occurrences are expected to cause flash floods in the northern regions. Even though these floods aren’t predicted to be as bad as the disastrous floods in 2010 and 2022, they nonetheless represent a serious risk. In addition to affecting over 20 million people, the 2010 floods seriously damaged infrastructure and resulted in almost 2,000 deaths. We have less than two months to get ready for the predicted floods, so we need to move quickly to put some important precautions in place. Proactive evacuations will be made possible by bolstering early warning systems to deliver precise and timely flood predictions.
