As Nepal enters the monsoon seasonтАФtypically spanning June through SeptemberтАФheavy rainfall brings much-needed water but also introduces serious hazards such as landslides, floods, and lightning strikes. Disruptions in electricity and mobile networks are also common, especially in rural and hilly regions.

This safety advisory outlines essential precautions for individuals and families across Nepal. It is adapted from established safety practices, including guidance provided by the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UN DSS) in Nepal.


Understanding the Risks

Monsoon-related hazards can affect daily life, health, and travel. Key risks include:

  • Landslides and flash floods, especially in mountainous and hilly terrain.

  • Lightning and thunderstorms, which cause injuries and fatalities each year.

  • Frequent power outages and weak mobile communication, making emergency response slower.

  • Increased risk of accidents and health concerns, including waterborne illnesses.

Safety Measures During the Monsoon

If you’re traveling, working in the field, or living in vulnerable areas, consider the following precautions:

  • Plan carefully around weather forecasts. Postpone or cancel travel if heavy rain or storms are expected.

  • Before traveling to remote or rural areas, inform someone of your destination and expected return.

  • Use reliable communication tools and carry backup power (such as power banks).

  • Pack essentials: clean drinking water, water purification tablets, medicines, first-aid kits, durable footwear, and appropriate clothing.

  • Stay updated with daily weather alerts issued by the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology.

  • Avoid hiking, trekking, or walking alone in remote or difficult terrains during the season.

  • Save local emergency contact numbers on your mobile phone, including the nearest police and health facilities.

Lightning and Thunderstorm Safety

Lightning is especially dangerous during monsoon months. The following precautions can save lives:

If You Are Outdoors:

  • Seek shelter immediately when you hear thunder. A fully enclosed building is safest.

  • Avoid elevated areas such as hills or ridgelines.

  • Do not take shelter under isolated trees or tall structures.

  • Stay away from water bodies and any conductive materials like wire fences or power lines.

  • If you’re in a group, spread out to minimize the chance of multiple injuries.

  • Avoid using motorcycles, tractors, or open vehicles during a storm.

If You Are Indoors:

  • Avoid contact with water sources like sinks, showers, and bathtubs.

  • Do not use electrical appliances connected to the power supply, including televisions, irons, washing machines, or corded phones.

  • Keep away from windows, doors, and balconies during lightning activity.

Preparedness and situational awareness are essential during the monsoon season. By following these safety practices, we can reduce avoidable risks to ourselves, our families, and our communities. The terrain and weather conditions in Nepal demand that we remain especially cautious.

This advisory is informed by evidence-based practices and includes input adapted from the UN Department of Safety and Security.

For public awareness, we encourage organizations, community groups, and individuals to share this advisory widely.
