The rapid development in Uttarakhand and Nepal's Himalayan regions has placed approximately 300,000 people at risk of potential disasters, including floods. The increased construction activity, combined with the effects of climate change, has made these areas more susceptible to extreme weather events. Flooding poses a significant threat to local communities, infrastructure, and livelihoods, particularly in areas with inadequate drainage systems. The situation is further compounded by the region's challenging terrain, which can exacerbate the impact of natural disasters.
