> On August 26, an ice-and-rock avalanche in Nepal’s Rasuwa district triggered a destructive surge of water, mud and debris that reached the Nepal-China border and affected Tibet. By mid-September, more than 1,400 people had reportedly died and at least 6,000 were missing. The disaster exposed the difficulty of warning communities about fast-moving, cross-border hazards originating high in the mountains.
