Attabad landslide

The Attabad landslide occurred in January 2010 in the Hunza Valley of northern Pakistan. Triggered by heavy rainfall and an earthquake, a massive rockslide blocked the Hunza River, creating a natural dam. This led to the formation of Attabad Lake, which submerged several villages and displaced thousands of people. The dam posed a risk of flooding, prompting ongoing monitoring and emergency responses. The incident highlighted the dangers of natural disasters in mountainous regions and the need for effective disaster preparedness and management.
