As the flood waters recede in Jammu and Kashmir, the rescue teams will now be able to reach thousands of stranded people. To aid this rescue process, we’ve created a Crisis map for Jammu and Kashmir with updated satellite imagery. Our hope is that this will help rescue agencies, volunteers and others involved in rescue operations respond to this crisis by identifying flood zones, evacuation routes and weather conditions.

You can click the “Share” button at the top of the crisis map to embed or share by email or social media. We are also still operating Person Finder, which as of the posting of this blog has a little more than 7000 records.
We hope the crisis map can accelerate the efforts of responding agencies and people affected by the disaster.
We continue to work on providing more relevant tools for rescue agencies, volunteers and non profits.
