Nepal Hackathon Turns a Flood Response into an Open Call for Help
A Nepal-led coordination site asks volunteers, technical teams, donors, and resource providers to support flood response around the Bhote Koshi–Trishuli river system.
Field notes
The project organises participation around needs described by teams in Nepal, then connects those needs with volunteer expertise and pooled resources. The page names concrete inputs including satellite tasking, drone footage, gauge readings, weather records, GPUs, APIs, and connectivity. It supports live or asynchronous work and distinguishes urgent response from longer-term preparedness. Registration is shown as open for a 30 August kickoff, while the homepage directs donors to Nepal’s Prime Minister’s Disaster Relief Fund and labels external reporting as unverified by the organisers.
