Displaced people of Hunza struggle to move on | The Ismaili

–Excerpt–

As part of its contingency planning, FOCUS Pakistan identified villages that were at risk and asked government authorities to resettle and relocate populations that were under immediate threat. People in high-risk villages were evacuated and relocated with host families in safe zones.

For the downstream populations, FOCUS has put in place an early warning siren system that can be activated using a cell phone. A team of FOCUS Pakistan staff is monitoring the lake around the clock with the help of CCTV cameras. An SMS text message can trigger the alarm, which would alert all nearby villages to evacuate immediately.
