Nepal, May 30 -- The Armed Police Force (APF) is set to mobilize approximately 170,000 disaster informants across the country, recognizing the vital role of local communities in disaster management. These informants will assist in receiving disaster-related information, facilitating mobilization, and coordinating rescue efforts at the community level.

To achieve this, all battalion headquarters must form disaster informant groups in every ward under their jurisdiction by the end of Jestha (mid-June). Each ward will have 25 informants, leading to the formation of 168,575 disaster informants across the 6,745 wards in the country.
