85 Americans Missing After Nepal Flood | Amarillo News

Flash floods triggered by a massive glacial collapse near the China-Nepal border have left 85 Americans unaccounted for and over 800 people dead across Nepal and Tibet. Nine U.S. citizens have been safely evacuated, with no confirmed U.S. deaths yet. The U.S. Geological Survey links the disaster to seismic energy equivalent to a 5.2 earthquake. The State Department has deployed emergency aid — half a million dollars for immediate relief and another 3.6 million for three months of food for 10,000 households — plus a disaster adviser on the ground. Americans in the region are urged to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program to ensure they can be reached in future crises.
