Pakistan: Landslide, January 2010
MapAction helped to alleviate risks of a potential flood catastrophe in mountainous northern Pakistan. The charity was approached by NGO leaders in Pakistan seeking assistance with risk and emergency planning mapping in the Hunza district where a mountain landslide earlier this year dammed the Hunza River creating a lake. Rising water levels are now threatening to breach the dam, putting 45,000 people at risk from an outburst flood.Please note: As the input data does not allow an detailed simulation, the results and the maps should be considered as a rough estimate only.
