## Prediction

In the next 24 hours, official casualty and displacement figures from northern Nepal’s floods are likely to rise as responders reach isolated mountain communities and clear blocked roads and trails. Additional dozens of deaths and several thousand displaced are plausible as landslide-hit areas are surveyed, compounding pressure on already strained local health and shelter systems. Second-order effects include delays to regional hydropower and cross-border trade flows via damaged mountain corridors with India and China. Confirmation would be government or police updates increasing the toll and reports of new evacuations; disconfirmation would be unexpectedly rapid restoration of access with no significant upward revision in casualties.

## Drivers
