Nepal Earthquake Situation Update (24 May 2015)
Abstract:
Many areas affected by the earthquake remain prone to landslides, which are causing frequent road blockages. Access to many remote villages remains a major challenge, and some locations in the affected area will be cut off once the monsoon season begins. Landing permission and customs requirements at Kathmandu airport are returning to pre-emergency procedures. Helicopter missions are underway to assess the damage to community trails prior to the start of rehabilitation. These trails will be essential to the planned use of porters for last mile transport. The first forward satellite hub in the affected areas is now operational. Another three are underway.
