CHINA NEPAL New Delhi INDIA Pokhara Mt Everest Kathmandu CJOC J 2 Assessment: Direct and collateral (terrorism) threat to CAF personnel operating in Nepal is LOW. As with other humanitarian disasters the health hazard IVO the disaster area is assessed to be HIGH based on a lack of sanitation and improper hygiene. The threat from crime is currently LOW. The greatest hazard comes from the possibility of further infrastructure damage following more aftershocks and heavy rains triggering landslides as Monsoon season is approaching (June-September). 19 May 15 Canadian Joint Operations Command
