Expert issues CHILLING warning: 'THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN'

. WATER THERE EVEN IF WHEN THERE. ISN'T RAIN. >> Lawrence: THANK YOU SO MUCH, ADAM. BRING IN A RESEARCHER AND FLOOD. EARLY WARNINGS AND DISASTER RISK. AT THE UNIVERSITY OF READINGS IN. THE U.K. SATELLITE IMAGING, WAS. THERE SOMETHING THAT COULD HAVE. DETECTED THIS OR IS THIS MORE. LIKE AN AVALANCHE WHERE YOU ARE. MINUTES AWAY TO DETECT THIS.

>> GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE. INFORMATION SORT OF GETS FLOWS. FASTER THAN THE WATER THESE. THINGS CAN BE DITCH TO PREDICT. INDICATORS CAN BE USEFUL. TIMES LIKE THESE MINUTES THAT. COUNTED MORE THAN HOURS.

TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT COULD BE. DONE. YOU ARE SARING THAT IT WOULD BE. POSSIBLE TO HAVE GIVEN A WARNING. THAT THIS COULD BE COMING? >> I WE HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT. THIS QUITE A WHILE NOW WE KNOW. CLIMATE CHANGE HIMALAYANS. EXACTED IN TERMS OF GLASURE MELT.

AND CHANGE IN THE VULNERABILITY. OF AN EVENT LIKE THIS HAPPENING. THEN LET'S ALSO REMIND THE. VIEWERS THAT JUST LAST YEAR, THE. SAME SORT OF BORDER CREDITORSING. SPOT THAT WAS A FLOOD, SO THIS. IS AN AREA PRONE TO DISASTER. THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT HAS TO. HAPPEN, NECESSARILY THIS IS. ALWAYS INFORMATION THAT NEEDS TO. BE EXCHANGED. DIFFICULTY HERE PROBABLY ALSO. BEING THE EXCHANGE OF. INFORMATION THAT THIS HAPPENED. ACROSS TWO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, WITH TWO DIFFERENT SORT OF.

INTERESTS. AND THAT WILL BE INVESTIGATED. >> YOU KNOW, DOCTOR, THIS. REMINDS EVERYONE HERE IN. AMERICA, I'M NOT SURE IF YOU ARE. FAMILIAR WITH IT BUT THERE WAS A. BIG FLOOD IN TEXAS AND WE SAW AN. ENTIRE CAMP OF THESE LITTLE. GIRLS THAT WERE ELEMENTARY. SCHOOL AGE AND THEY WERE ALL. KILLED. THEY WERE WORKED A AWAY IT SHOWS. YOU THE POWER OF WATER AND WHAT. IT CAN DO. AND WHEN WE WATCH THESE IMAGES, YOU SEE PEOPLE RUN FOR THEIR. LIVES AND THEY ARE SWALLOWED UP. AND HARD TO WATCH BECAUSE YOU.

KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING PEOPLE. TAKE THEIR LAST BREAK IT'S. EXCRUCIATING. HOW OFTEN DO WE BUILD. COMMUNITIES LIKE THIS WHERE YOU. ARE DOWNSTREAM OF SOMETHING THAT. COULD HAPPEN LIKE THIS? >> I MEAN, HISTORICALLY HUMANS. HAVE SORT OF ALWAYS SETTLED. CLOSE TO RIVERS AND HAS ALWAYS. BEEN RISKS ABOUT YOU ARE RIGHT. IN SAYING IT'S COMPLETELY. DEVASTATING THE GUADALUPE RIVER. FLOOD WITH IT WAS WHERE ALL THE.

POOR KIDS SORT OF DIED. THIS WAS HORRIBLE, BUT THEN YOU. ALSO NEED TO TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. THE VULNERABILITY. A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THIS TIME. FOR THE GROUP THAT RIVER THAT. WAS ACTUALLY WARNING BUT SORT OF. THE INFORMATION EXCHANGE WAS. LACKING ALSO THE UNDER. ESTIMATION OF THE RISK REALLY. AND TIME OF DAY THAT HAPPENED. IT WAS RANGE THE WHOLE TIME. NOW IN THE VIDEO WE SEE HERE YOU.

DON'T SEE A DROP OF RAIN IN. THESE VIDEOS. SO YOU HAVE TO IMAGINE IF YOU. ARE THE PERSON WALKING THERE OR. YOU ARE AT A CHOKE POINT SORT OF. LIKE A BORDER CROSSING, EVERYTHING SORT OF SLOWS DOWN. ANYWAY, AND YOU DON'T SEE IT. COMING. I WANT YOU TO SEE THAT HUGE WAVE. OF DEBRIS COMING, THERE IS. REALLY NOT MUCH PEOPLE CAN DO. THAT'S WHY IT IS ESPECIALLY. HEART WRENCHING TO SEE THOSE. VIDEOS. >> YOU KNOW, DOCTOR, I'M. LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT THIS. REGION AND THIS AREA, IT APPEARS.

THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT. THESE -- THEY ARE NOT OUT OF. WOODS YET DO YOU THINK THIS. COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN AGAIN OR. AT A SMALLER SCALE. >> I MEAN, THIS WILL HAPPEN. AGAIN AND WE CANNOT EXACTLY SAY. WHERE AND WHEN BUT THE RISK IS. VERY REAL AND IT WILL ALSO. HAPPEN AGAIN THAT INFORMATION. SHARING ACROSS TWO DIFFERENT. NATIONS WILL BE REALLY IMPORTANT. AND THIS INTERNATIONAL. CORPORATIONS REALLY KEY HERE AND.

UPON TORG THE TO BE ABLE TO. FORECAST THIS AND SHARE THE. INFORMATION WHILE IT'S STILL OF. USE TO THE PEOPLE THAT NEED HEAR. IT. >> YEAH, DOCTOR. >> WHEN YOU JUST SAID THERE, YOU. THINK THERE IS A LACK OF. COOPERATION BETWEEN CHINA AND. NEPAL BETTER INFORMATION. SHARING, THAT'S WHAT IS. HAPPENING IN THE PAST? >> I WOULDN'T SAY THERE IS A. LACK OF INFORMATION SHARING. BETWEEN CHINA AND NEPAL. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS. REALISTICALLY EVERYWHERE WHERE A.

BORDER SORT OF SPLITS. COMMUNITIES IN TWO. THIS IS ALSO TRUE, FOR EXAMPLE. INITIATIVE TO MITIGATE THIS SORT. OF RISK IN THE LONG TERM. WE THINK OF FOSSIL FUEL. EMISSION, THE PLEDGES THAT. COUNTRY TAKE TO SORT OF REDUCE. THEM DON'T HAVE REALLY THATCH. POWER UNLESS EVERYBODY PULLS. THROUGH. IT DOESN'T STOP AT BORDERS AND. GENESIS SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. >> Ainsley: I WAS WATCHING A. VIDEO SOMEONE BEING RESCUED BY.

HELICOPTER. HELICOPTERS HAVE RESCUED AT. LEAST 100 PEOPLE. EMERGENCY CREWS ARE HAVING HARD. TIME GETTING THROUGH BECAUSE. THERE ARE NO ROADS OR. BRIDGESMENT THEY WERE DESTROYED. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT WITH THE. RESCUE EFFORTS BECAUSE THERE ARE. 100 MISSING, 47 FROM OUR. COUNTRY. NOW IT'S REALLY RESCUE OPERATION. AT THIS POINT. STILL TRYING TO FIND SURVIVORS. SORT OF THE FLOW DEEP INTO NEPAL. IT'S NOT JUST THAT BORDER. CROSSING THAT'S IMPACTED BUT. ALSO ALL THE COMMUNITIES.

DOWNSTREAM IT WILL BE EXTREMELY. DIFFICULT TO FIND SURVIVORS AND. ALSO TO FIND UNFORTUNATELY ALL. THE FATALITIES OR GODZ RECOVER. THEM. WILL BE LONGER EFFORT IN THE. SAME TIME SCIENTISTS AND. AUTHORITIES WILL SEE WHAT. INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE, WHAT. WAS BEING SHARED WHAT WAS. LACKING AND SORT OF HOW TO MAKE. SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. IN THE SAME MAGNITUDE, BUT, AS.

OF NOW, I THINK IT'S MAINLY. RESCUE AND OPERATION AND, AFTER. THAT, IT WILL BE ALSO BUILDING. BACK THE COMMUNITIES. INTERNATIONAL AID WILL BE. RESPECTED TO ARRIVE IN THESE. AREAS. >> Brian: WE HAVE ALREADY SAID. WE ARE GOING.
