Places named by PMO, Nepal Police and IFRC are organized by the type of official evidence available.

Find someone

No flood-specific public roster was visible when sources were checked. Search the general Nepal Police registry, but absence there does not confirm a person is safe and the registry may lag. Call Police Control if a report is missing or incorrect.

Names and photographs are not copied onto this site. That avoids stale status, duplicate reports and unnecessary exposure of personal information.

Report or correct a missing/found-person case: call Nepal Police 100.

Shelter and local relief

No centralized shelter list verified yet

PMO reported temporary accommodation near Nepal Army barracks and said more was being prepared, but published no addresses or capacities. We found no current public shelter roster in the official pages checked. Ask an authority to confirm a site is open and the route is safe before travelling.
