Al Jazeera analysis reveals that existing early-warning systems are built around particular single hazards—rainfall, river level, or glacial lake outburst floods—but cannot adequately detect or warn of cascading multi-hazard sequences in high-altitude terrain where hazards trigger one another in minutes. Climate warming and expanded human settlement in mountain valleys have created a new risk landscape that current monitoring infrastructure cannot address, especially across borders.
