The planned system will use a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite connection to ensure monitoring stations remain operational even if mobile networks fail.
Nepal is reportedly moving to rebuild its flood and landslide early-warning system after last week’s devastating disaster, with authorities planning to install seismic sensors, cameras and a satellite-based communication link near the country’s border with China.
Equipment installed at Timure
According to a Reuters report, equipment is already being installed at Timure, a border area where a collapsing glacier unleashed a massive torrent of mud, water and rocks through mountain valleys. The disaster killed more than 1,000 people in Nepal, while the combined death toll in Nepal and China has reached at least 1,114, with nearly 4,000 people still missing.
The planned system will use a Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) satellite connection to ensure monitoring stations remain operational even if mobile networks fail. Authorities hope the system will provide real-time information on river discharge and allow officials to quickly send SMS alerts to communities at risk.
