On 26 August 2026, devastating floods and mudslides swept through the Lhende Khola river valley, Nepal, resulting in heavy tolls on lives and critical infrastructure. As of 27 August, early reports indicate an estimated 160 casualties and around 1,500 people missing across Nepal and Tibet, with numbers expected to rise as search and rescue efforts continue.
In response, professionals from NAXA, MapBuds, Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team, and the wider tech community in Nepal are coming together to support evidence-based humanitarian action in line with joint national efforts.
The collaborative effort includes processing drone imagery, mapping and validating affected areas, and using the fAIr platform to map and compare building footprints before and after the floods, helping generate timely information for response and recovery efforts.
