The Government of Nepal has unveiled a 13-page nationwide disaster preparedness and public safety plan involving 11 ministries following warnings of heavy to extremely heavy rainfall, snowfall, storms and lightning across different parts of the country on Ashoj 9–11, 2083 BS (September 25–27, 2026). According to the government document dated Ashoj 7, 2083 BS, forecasts from the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority and relevant experts indicate increased risks of floods, landslides, inundation, river erosion, avalanches, road blockages and disruptions to electricity and communication services. The Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed authorities to restrict long-distance night bus operations nationwide during the three-day high-risk period, implement a Stop, Hold and Go system at highway checkpoints and discourage non-essential travel. District administrations have been directed to identify vulnerable settlements, relocate residents where necessary and maintain round-the-clock emergency coordination. Nepal Police, the Armed Police Force and the Nepal Army have been instructed to keep rescue personnel, helicopters, boats and emergency equipment ready for immediate deployment.

The emergency measures also cover education, tourism, transportation and local government operations. Schools may declare precautionary holidays on Ashoj 8 and 9, depending on local disaster risk assessments, while universities and examination authorities have been requested to postpone examinations scheduled between Ashoj 9 and 11 where necessary. Local governments must prepare community buildings and safe schools as temporary shelters and coordinate the relocation of residents from high-risk areas. The Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation has advised domestic and international tourists to postpone travel, remain in safe accommodation and avoid trekking or mountaineering activities during hazardous weather. Trekkers with existing permits may reschedule their travel without additional charges, while mountaineering teams have been instructed not to climb above base camps during the warning period. Road authorities must keep heavy equipment ready near vulnerable highways, provide updated road conditions and arrange refunds or rescheduling for passengers affected by night-bus restrictions.

To prevent disruptions to public services and essential commodities, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Supplies has directed the Food Management and Trading Company to maintain sufficient food stocks and ensure continued distribution. Nepal Oil Corporation has been instructed to maintain adequate petroleum and LPG reserves, while market monitoring will be intensified to prevent artificial shortages and black marketing. The health ministry has directed hospitals and health institutions to maintain emergency readiness, with medicines, oral rehydration salts, anti-snakebite treatment and rapid response teams available in vulnerable districts. Health emergency operations will remain active around the clock, while pregnant women nearing delivery and patients with chronic illnesses have been advised to stay close to healthcare facilities. Telecommunications providers must maintain backup electricity, fuel and technical support, while authorities will arrange free SMS weather warnings for mobile users in high-risk areas. The Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation has also instructed hydropower operators to issue advance warnings before releasing reservoir water and to protect workers stationed near rivers.

The Ministry of Finance will prioritize fast-track customs clearance for essential goods, including food, fuel and medicines, at Nepal–India border points and facilitate emergency funding for rescue, relief and immediate recovery. Government agencies have been instructed to maintain close coordination, keep emergency personnel available and communicate verified information to the public. Citizens have been urged to avoid unnecessary travel, stay away from rivers and landslide-prone areas, keep mobile phones charged and follow official weather alerts rather than rumours. For emergencies, the government has listed Hello Government 1111, Hello Home 1112, Nepal Police 100, Ambulance 102 and Tourist Police 1144 as important contact numbers. The measures are precautionary arrangements responding to forecast hazards and do not indicate that all anticipated disasters or service disruptions have already occurred.
