EDIT data/impact.json →The full scale of the flood's impact is yet to be known but it is Nepal's deadliest natural disaster since the April 2015 earthquake. I have tried to compile what I could find in public sources, specifically Nepali news and NDRRMA website.

02 — PM'S DISASTER RELIEF FUND
Prime Minister's Disaster Relief Fund
BEFORE YOU SEND ANYTHING
- Disasters bring a wave of fake fundraisers. Give to an organisation that already existed last month and can show you what it spent.
- Check bank details against the organisation's own site or an official government notice and never against a number pasted into a social post, including this one.
- Be wary of urgency, direct messages asking for wallet transfers, and accounts created in the last few weeks.
- Cash to established responders beats shipped goods almost every time. They buy locally, which is faster and supports the affected economy.
OF THE REBUILDING ESTIMATE0.8%
Against Rs 7,62,00,00,00,000 estimated to rebuild. Note, the relief fund is not the rebuilding budget; reconstruction would draw on the national budget, borrowing and international support. KATHMANDU POST →
