The International Center for Integrated Mountain Development\u00a0wins award for its contribution to\u00a0relief efforts in the aftermath of\u00a0Nepal’s devastating earthquake\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Kathmandu based International Center for Integrated Mountain Development<\/a> (ICIMOD)\u2014an intergovernmental organization in the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region \u2014has been awarded with Humanitarian Geographic Information System (GIS) award<\/a> for its contribution to providing information during the aftermath of the April earthquake in Nepal.<\/p>\n

The award was announced in San Diego, California during a conference organised by the Environmental System Research Institute (Esri).<\/a> Handing out the award on Monday,\u00a0Esri president Jack Dangermond\u00a0said, \u201cICIMOD\u2019s resolve and tireless efforts in the face of such devastation truly inspire us.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to ICIMOD, the interactive platform<\/a> combines key data at the national, district and village levels with interactive maps, charts and infographics and has been integrated with Nepal Home Ministry\u2019s<\/a> official website, to reach out to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe platform also features information on geo-hazards, including field data on landslides with 3D visualisation and a near real-time incident reporting system,\u201d\u00a0said Basanta Shrestha, ICIMOD\u2019s director of strategic cooperation and leader of the disaster response team.<\/p>\n

In a press statement today, ICIMOD said it has identified over 3,000 landslides, assembled a database of over 250 landslides and other large mass movements and conducted a special geo-hazards assessment of the Langtang Valley in the Nepal-China border, a region particularly hard hit<\/a> by the recent quake.<\/p>\n

ICIMOD has also examined the condition of Nepal\u2019s most dangerous glacial lakes and assisted helicopter pilots flying rescue and relief sorties by providing crucial flight information to help them navigate unfamiliar terrain and plan appropriate landing sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn a disaster situation like the one Nepal faced, collecting, managing, processing, and disseminating timely and reliable information becomes critical to relief and recovery operations,\u201d said ICIMOD\u2019s director general David Molden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
