What FamilyConnect is, and is not
FamilyConnect coordinates information and practical assistance between families, humanitarian organisations and authorities. It does not confirm identity or death, and it does not replace the police, hospitals, forensic authorities or your embassy. Every update below shows who provided it and whether it has been checked.
The Family Assistance Centre at Bhrikutimandap is open 24 hours for registration, reception and interpretation support.
Checked by a coordinator against a named source.
One lane of the Pasang Lhamu Highway has reopened for emergency vehicles. Private travel is still discouraged.
Confirmed by the authority of record.
Several messages circulating online claim an exact time for another flood surge. Glacial outburst floods cannot be predicted in this way. Follow official flood warnings only.
Reported but not checked. This is not a confirmation.
