Himachal Pradesh Deploys Early Warning System at Geepang Gath Glacier for Flood Risk
Himachal Pradesh has installed a Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF) early warning system at the Geepang Gath Glacier in Lahaul-Spiti district, located around 4,100 metres above sea level. Developed under a pilot project funded by the National Disaster Management Authority, the system includes lake monitoring, weather stations, and glacier vision units to provide real-time data. This initiative aims to enhance disaster preparedness by enabling timely warnings and coordinated responses to mitigate risks from the rapidly expanding glacial lake threatening downstream communities.
