Rasuwa–Bhotekoshi Flood: Consolidated Status Summary 

Internal / Partner Situation Summary • Data as of 19:00, 8 September 2026 (Bhadra 23, 2083) Sources: (1) NDRRMA Situation Report English #08, as of 19:00, 8 September 2026, including its  embedded Search, Rescue and Relief Update dashboard; (2) RRN Consolidated Status Summary of 7  September 2026, used as the comparison baseline.  

Note on figures: all numbers are provisional and government-published. 

1. What happened 

Two new financial and social sectors are disclosed for the first time, and they are the most  significant items in this report. The Social Welfare Council reports that 45 INGOs have contributed  relief materials worth NPR 379.48 million and deposited a further NPR 39.99 million in cash to the  Prime Minister’s Relief Fund, while 24 national NGOs have contributed NPR 129.13 million in  assistance and NPR 7.27 million in cash — NPR 555.87 million in combined NGO and INGO  support, against NPR 160 million in direct government cash relief, which has not moved since 3  September. Separately, under a fast-track mechanism valid through 1 October 2026, the Council  approved 55 new projects and two amendments across 52 INGOs between 31 August and 7  September, mobilising a further NPR 508.1 million. Whether this NPR 508.1 million overlaps with  the NPR 379.48 million already reported as contributed is not stated, and the two figures should not  be added together without clarification.  

A full Protection sector (Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities, and Social Security) and a  full Food Security sector appear for the first time, both with substantial detail: 232 children separated  from their families have been identified in holding centres, of whom 18 have been reunified; six  Women-Friendly Spaces and 13 Child-Friendly Spaces are operating; and 73.282 metric tonnes of  15-day food rations have reached 2,030 households. Named partner organisations — WFP, FAO,  CARE Nepal, LWF Nepal, AWO International, CRS Nepal, People in Need and ActionAid  International — are credited for the first time in this series.  

Operationally, the picture is quieter: no hydropower site reports a new tunnel-depth advance, and  Upper Trishuli-1 has shifted from physical tunnel entry to drone reconnaissance only. Identified body handovers to families rose for the first time in four days, from 98 to 102. Holding-centre  figures suggest Dhading’s two centres may have closed entirely; see Section 8. 

2. Headline Figures at a Glance 

Indicator	7 Sep, 19:00	8 Sep, 19:00
Bodies recovered	1,356	1,358 (+2)
Missing / out of contact	4,894	5,428 (+534) — see Section 4
Hospital-treated patients	327	329 (+2)
— discharged	242	252
— under treatment	51	43
— referred	30	30
— deaths during treatment	4	4
“Injured” combined figure	6,676	7,037 (+361)
Total rescued to date	13,396	13,583 (+187)
Total air operations, cumulative	1,157	1,157 (unchanged) — see note
Private sector flights from Kathmandu	129	129 (unchanged)
Security personnel deployed	21,402	21,146 (−256)
Cash relief released (total)	NPR 160 million	NPR 160 million (unchanged)
Identified bodies handed to families	98	102 (+4)
People in holding centres	3,629 (37 centres)	3,328 (34 centres) — see Section 8

 

Air operations note: the cumulative figure of 1,157 is identical to yesterday’s, and this round again  gives no same-day flight count. Two helicopters are separately reported flying food to Rasuwa today,  so the counter appears not to be updating rather than genuinely static. Rescued rose by 187 in the  same period, indicating that whatever is driving new rescues is not being captured in the air 

operations line. 

Security personnel deployed fell by 256, entirely from Nepal Army (9,287 to 9,031); Nepal Police  and APF are unchanged at 7,912 and 4,203. This is the second consecutive round with a fall in one  force’s deployment — Nepal Police fell on 7 September, Nepal Army today — continuing the  gradual drawdown noted yesterday.  

3. Human Casualties 

District	7 Sep, 19:00	8 Sep, 19:00	Change

4. Missing / Out of Contact

Reporting methodology has changed and the two totals are not directly comparable. Every  previous round in this series broke the missing total into Nuwakot (DEOC), Rasuwa (DEOC) and  foreign nationals, summing to a fixed total that had not moved since 3 September. Today’s dashboard  replaces that breakdown with two new charts: a donut chart categorised as “Details received from  Nuwakot District Police Office”, “Missing from Rasuwa” and “Foreign Nationals”, and a separate  bar chart further splitting “Missing from Rasuwa” into local residents, people from other districts  who came to Rasuwa, and out-of-contact Nepal Army, Nepal Police, Armed Police Force,  government and bank/financial-institution personnel. No numeric value is printed against any  individual bar in the source report, so this breakdown cannot be reproduced here.  

Category	7 Sep, 19:00	8 Sep, 19:00
Total (as stated)	4,894	5,428
Change	–	+534
District-level breakdown	Nuwakot 2,340 / Rasuwa 1,967 /  foreign 587	Not comparable — new category  structure, no values printed

 

This is the single most consequential figure in this report and needs to be flagged clearly to  partners: a rise of 534 in the missing count, after five consecutive rounds of no movement at all,  most plausibly reflects a data reconciliation or a newly incorporated register (for example, the  Rasuwa Police Office source now named in the chart) rather than 534 additional people newly going  out of contact today. NDRRMA gives no narrative explanation for the change. Until a comparable  breakdown is published, this figure should be reported as a discontinuity in the series rather than as a  one-day increase, and district-level missing figures should not be quoted from this round.  

5. Injured and Hospital Treatment 

5.1 Daily Comparison 

Component	7 Sep, 19:00	8 Sep, 19:00
Hospital-treated patients	327	329
Nepal Army medical treatment, cumulative	3,379	3,421
APF medical treatment, cumulative	2,970	3,287
Combined “Injured” total, as headlined	6,676	7,037

 

5.2 Treatment by Health Facility 

8 September, 19:00 (19 facilities). Figures in brackets are the 7 September values where they differ.

Health Facility	Total	Under Tx.	Referred	Discharged	Deaths
Rasuwa District Hospital, Dhunche	81	–	27	53	1
Trishuli Hospital, Bidur, Nuwakot	18	–	1	16	1
Ayurvedic Hospital, Pipaltaar, Nuwakot	20	–	–	20	–
National Trauma Center, Mahabouddha	50	10 (11)	1	38 (37)	1
Shree Birendra Hospital, Chhauni	4	4	–	–	–
TUTH, Kathmandu	81	18 (21)	–	62 (59)	1
NAMS/Bir Hospital, Mahabouddha	25 (23)	2 (4)	–	23 (19)	–
Patan Academy of Health Sciences, Lalitpur	1	–	–	1	–

 

Health Facility	Total	Under Tx.	Referred	Discharged	Deaths
Paropakar Maternity & Women’s, Thapathali	17	3 (4)	–	14 (13)	–
Nepal APF Hospital, Balambu	8	1 (2)	–	7 (6)	–
Manmohan Memorial Medical College,  Swyambhu	3	–	–	3	–
Norvic International Hospital, Thapathali	3	–	–	3	–
Subham International Hospital, Manmaiju	3	–	–	3	–
Greencity Hospital, Tokha	4	1	1	2	–
HAMS, Dhumbarahi	1	–	–	1	–
Chirayu National Hospital, Basundhara	3	2	–	1	–
Grande International Hospital, Tokha	3	1	–	2	–
BNB Hospital, Gwarko	3	1	–	2	–
Dhading Hospital Pvt. Ltd., Adamghat, Gajuri	1	–	–	1	–
Total (headline)	329	43	30	252	4

 

The table reconciles exactly with the headline total for a third consecutive round. NAMS/Bir  Hospital added two new patients today (23, up from 22 on 6 September and 23 on 7 September —  net +2 since 6 September), the only facility to record new admissions; all other movement is patients  progressing from treatment to discharge. Deaths during treatment remain at 4, unchanged since 3  September.  

5.3 Health Sector 

Restated verbatim from 7 September: 38 emergency medical teams (175 personnel) have treated over  4,722 patients; 32 forensic teams (54 personnel) are mobilised for dead-body management, with  DNA collection tents established in Rasuwa; psychosocial counselling has reached over 4,111  individuals through 13 teams (59 personnel); and 7 epidemiology and surveillance teams (12  personnel) are deployed for outbreak prevention. None of these four figures moved from yesterday’s  report, suggesting this section was carried forward unchanged rather than freshly compiled.  

6. Search and Rescue at Hydropower Project Sites 

No tunnel-depth advance is reported at any site today, and Upper Trishuli-1 has shifted from  physical entry to drone-only reconnaissance. 

• Rasuwagadhi: CQRT and project representatives reached the Powerhouse, transformer and Control  Point; nothing found. No tunnel-penetration depth is given, for a second consecutive round.  • Langtang: clearance operations are underway to remove soil and large boulders blocking an access  portal approximately 10 metres long, 3 feet wide and 4 feet high at the outlet passage — the first  physical description of the obstruction at this site, which has otherwise been reported only as  “ongoing” since 5 September.  
• Chilime: a passable walking track has been established using four large pipes, and blasting  operations cleared a large boulder blocking the Syabrubesi–Chilime access road, enabling heavy equipment transport; debris removal continues using winches and buckets. No new penetration depth  is given, after 110 metres on 6 September and 115 metres on 7 September.  
• Upper Trishuli-1: a joint Nepal Army and KDRT team conducted drone reconnaissance within  approximately 1 kilometre of the tunnel area; nothing found. This replaces yesterday’s physical entry  of approximately 400 metres into the main entrance tunnel with a drone-only method, and should not  be read as a further 1-kilometre advance underground. 
• Mailung Khola: a joint Nepal Army and KDRT team conducted drone reconnaissance within  approximately 1 kilometre of the Mailung area; nothing found.  
• Trishuli 3-A: a joint team of Nepal Army, APF and project representatives searched the tunnel and  powerhouse areas; nothing found. APF is named in the team composition for the first time since 6  September.  
• Trishuli 3-B: for a third consecutive report, the only content is that four excavators withdrawn  from Trishuli 3-A have been mobilised to the site; no search activity is described. This site has not  reported an actual search outcome since 6 September.  

Bridging 

• Acrow Bridge, Tadi River at Devighat: 15 of the presumed 19 bays are now complete, up from 11  on 7 September, with the remaining 4 progressing rapidly.  
• A second, separate structure is reported in the roads section: a 60-metre Bailey bridge at the same  Tadi River crossing, for which the Department of Roads has now completed transporting materials  from Gajuri, with construction by the Nepal Army ongoing. This is the third consecutive report  describing what appears to be two distinct bridge projects at Devighat — an Acrow/Bailey panel  bridge tracked by bay count, and a separately named 55–75-metre Bailey bridge tracked by transport  and construction status — without ever stating whether they are the same structure described two  ways or genuinely separate works. This should be clarified directly with NDRRMA or the  Department of Roads before either progress figure is quoted as the status of “the” Devighat bridge.  
• New this round: the Nepal Army has initiated construction of an approximately 250-metre  suspension bridge connecting Trishuli Bazaar from the lower section of the Dhunge Buddha Temple.  This is a third, distinct river crossing, unrelated to the Devighat structures.  

7. Access, Infrastructure and Communications 

Roads 

• Prithvi Highway, Krishnabhir: unchanged, fully blocked, 250-metre hillside track open with  widening ongoing.  
• Fisling–Benighat alternative route: work is “about to start”, identical wording to 7 September —  no progress in two days.  
• Parewa Bhir: upgraded. Two-way traffic has now been restored, an improvement on the 6:00 AM– 6:00 PM daily closure reported in every prior round since 4 September.  
• Shital Bazaar: now described as having collapsed (caved in), stronger language than the previous  “subsided”; still one-way only.  
• Galchhi–Devighat, Kolphu Bridge: the assessment has concluded and repair work has been  initiated, an advance on the “assessment and implementation processes underway” wording used  since 6 September.  
• Devighat–Dhunge and Dhunge–Trishuli: both remain operational and clear, unchanged.  • Bidur–Betrawati: unchanged, 8.5 of 10 kilometres clear, 1.5 kilometres washed away, 0.5  kilometres of hard-rock cutting in progress.  
• Rasuwa alternative route via Dhikure: still under maintenance with preparations underway to  resume vehicular movement; no date is offered, for a fourth consecutive round.  

Electricity and Fuel 

• Nuwakot: an additional 1,147 households restored in Bidur Wards 10 and 11, bringing district  electrification to approximately 99 per cent, up from 98 per cent on 7 September, with 615  households remaining in Tarkeshwar Ward 4. 
• Coordination is underway to airlift 6 solar sets from Dhunche to their designated final deployment  sites — the first solar-specific update since 4 September.  
• Nuwakot fuel reserves: diesel 45,000 litres, petrol 16,000 litres, aviation fuel 16,000 litres. These  again match the dashboard figures exactly, confirming the dashboard fuel box remains Nuwakot scoped.  
• No restoration percentage or fuel figure is given for Dhading or Rasuwa in this round.  

Communications Sector 

Unchanged for a third consecutive round: Nepal Telecom 117 of 120 towers operational, Ncell 76 of  78, and the same three Free Wi-Fi sites (Bhairum Secondary School, Chandrajyoti Secondary  School, Trishuli Holding Center). No network progress has been recorded since 5 September.  

8. Protection (Women, Children, Gender and Sexual Minorities, and Social Security) — new  sector 

• Psychological First Aid has been provided to 1,243 flood-affected individuals — 299 girls, 499  women, 261 men and 10 senior citizen men — through 64 psychosocial counsellors and 4 helplines.  • 232 children separated from or missing their parents have been identified in holding centres across  flood-affected areas. 18 have been reunified with their families; tracing, identity verification, case  management and reunification continue for the remainder.  
• Six Women-Friendly Spaces have been established in Nuwakot and Dhading, serving 245 women  — including 7 pregnant and 7 lactating mothers — and 51 children, providing individual and group  psychosocial support, Psychological First Aid and recreational activities.  
• 13 Child-Friendly Spaces are operating, serving 658 children (327 boys, 331 girls) with  recreational, sports and psychosocial support activities.  
• Monitoring has been heightened, in coordination with Nepal Police, across border regions, transit  points, checkpoints and holding centres to mitigate trafficking risk and the unsafe movement of  women and children.  
• Air rescue of pregnant women, post-partum mothers and at-risk newborns is being conducted  where road access is disrupted; two women in critical maternal condition, with their newborns, have  been air-rescued to date and brought to Paropakar Maternity and Women’s Hospital.  • Through the Social Welfare Council, all parties have been asked not to photograph or film affected  people without consent, or to display religious, commercial or promotional material during relief  distribution.  

9. Food Security — new sector 

• 73.282 metric tonnes of 15-day food rations (rice, lentils, oil, salt) have been distributed to 2,030  households (8,872 individuals) across Dhading, Nuwakot and Rasuwa, in coordination with District  Disaster Management Committees and local governments.  
• Air relief was dispatched from Kathmandu by helicopter to supply 48 affected households in  Bridhim village, Rasuwa.  
• Emergency food assistance reached 700 vulnerable households: Rasuwa 300, Nuwakot 250,  Dhading 150.  
• 500 households received food items in Gosaikunda Municipality; 300 families across Bidur Wards  3, 7 and 9 received food kits and kitchen utensils; and Devighat, Bidur-3, Nuwakot received food  items for 116 families and kitchen utensils for 36.  
• Community mess sites are supported at Nilkhantha Ma Bi (Uttar Gaya-5), Bidur-1 and Tribhuwan  Ma VI (Kispang).  
• Active partner organisations named for the first time in this series: WFP, FAO, CARE Nepal, LWF 

Nepal, AWO International, CRS Nepal, People in Need and ActionAid International.  

10. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene 

Restated verbatim from 7 September, with no figures updated: transport of 1,350 metres (1,285 kg) of  plastic pipe by Nepal Army helicopter for the Sera Drinking Water Project; three water tankers (two  of 6,000 litres, one of 9,000 litres) in regular use; two stabilizers provided to the Bidur Water Supply  Committee; 50 membrane community filters, 200 bottles of chlorine solution, water tanks,  submersible pumps and portable toilets supplied; regular WASH cluster meetings in all three  districts; and the four-room gender-friendly toilet at Baireni Bazaar, Dhading. This section appears to  have been carried forward unchanged rather than freshly compiled for this round.  

11. Education Sector 

• New this round: educational materials have been distributed to 428 children in Galchhi Rural  Municipality and 147 children in Gajuri Rural Municipality across child-friendly spaces in shelters  and Temporary Learning Centres — 575 children in total, the first quantified education reach  reported in this series.  
• Free Wi-Fi remains active for displaced families and shelter managers at Bhairum Secondary  School and Chandrajyoti Secondary School.  
• Educational materials continue to be distributed at holding centres and Temporary Learning  Centres, and local-level budgets are being used to replace lost textbooks, both restated unchanged  from 7 September.  
• The action plan to relocate holding-centre residents to transitional shelters, so that schools can  reopen for regular classes, continues in development.  

12. Agriculture and Livestock Protection 

Restated verbatim from 7 September, with no figures updated: 23 types of emergency veterinary  medicines and supplies handed over in Nuwakot and Rasuwa (Uttargaya Rural Municipality); 200  bags of lime and 1,000 bottles of phenol dispatched to Bidur Municipality; 330 bottles of phenol and  100 packets of lime to Devghat Rural Municipality, Tanahun; and 7 types of veterinary medicines  and supplies to Kalika and Gosaikunda Rural Municipalities. As with the WASH section, this  appears to be carried forward rather than freshly reported.  

13. Financial and NGO Coordination — new, via the Social Welfare Council 

Contributor	Relief materials / assistance	Cash to PM Relief Fund
45 INGOs	NPR 379.48 million	NPR 39.99 million
24 national NGOs	NPR 129.13 million	NPR 7.27 million
Combined	NPR 508.61 million	NPR 47.26 million

 

Fast-track mechanism: valid through 1 October 2026, the Social Welfare Council approved 55 new  projects and two project amendments across 52 INGOs between 31 August and 7 September,  mobilising NPR 508.1 million for emergency disaster response.  

This NPR 508.1 million is close in magnitude to the NPR 508.61 million already shown as  contributed in relief materials and assistance above, and it is not stated whether the two overlap,  whether the fast-track figure is newly additional funding, or whether it represents the same INGOs’  activity counted on a project-approval basis rather than a delivered-value basis. Partner  organisations should clarify this directly with the Social Welfare Council before citing either figure  as incremental to the other. Total government cash relief of NPR 160 million has not moved since 3  September and remains dwarfed by the NGO and INGO totals disclosed today. 

14. Relief Distribution, Cash Support and Holding Centres 

Cash Relief (unchanged for an eighth consecutive round) 

Recipient	Figure
Rasuwa	NPR 10 million
Nuwakot	NPR 10 million
Dhading	NPR 5 million
15 affected local governments	NPR 135 million
Total	NPR 160 million (~USD 1,049,900)

 

Holding Centres 

District	7 Sep, 19:00	8 Sep, 19:00
Rasuwa	733 (10 centres)	634 (9 centres)
Nuwakot	2,699 (25 centres)	2,694 (25 centres)
Dhading	197 (2 centres)	Not reported
Total	3,629 (37 centres)	3,328 (34 centres)

 

Relief Dispatch (same-day) 

Food supplies were transported to Rasuwa by two helicopters today. No cumulative truck, Bolero or  flight totals are given in this round; the cumulative dispatch series remains discontinued, as it has  been since 6 September.  

Details of Relief Materials Dispatched to Districts — new stock-tracking format 

The relief-materials table changes format for the first time in this series. Previous rounds gave a  single itemised table of one day’s dispatch from Tribhuvan International Airport. This round instead  gives a multi-page stock ledger for Nuwakot and Rasuwa only, organised by category (Education,  Food & Nutrition, Fuel & Energy, Health & Medicine, Logistics & Operations, Protection &  Dignity), with each line item showing quantity In and Out per district. The source does not define In  and Out explicitly; they most plausibly represent stock received into district-level storage and stock  subsequently distributed onward, respectively, though this is inferred rather than stated. The table  runs to several dozen line items across mixed units (kg, litre, carton, packet, set, piece and others)  and is not reproduced in full here; a representative selection of the largest lines follows. 

Category	Item	Unit	Nuwakot In / Out	Rasuwa In / Out
Food & Nutrition	Rice	kg	197,369 / 61,025	130,250 / 37,275
Food & Nutrition	Chiura / Bhuja	kg	103,194 / 9,527	51,570 / 4,071
Food & Nutrition	Dal (Lentils)	kg	36,878 / 7,803	69,495 / 2,477
Food & Nutrition	Salt	kg	25,386 / 3,289	13,311 / 1,272
Food & Nutrition	Cooking Oil	litre	16,035 / 6,124	2,724 / 889
Health & Medicine	Gloves	pcs	94,020 / 3,574	1,000 boxes / 0
Health & Medicine	Medicines & IV Fluids   (tablet)	tablet	24,257 / 13,250	5,000 / 0

 

Category	Item	Unit	Nuwakot In / Out	Rasuwa In / Out
Health & Medicine	ORS	pcs	9,780 / 1,552	2,222 / 50
WASH & Hygiene	Water Purifier / Filter	pcs	22,876 / 20,006	2 / 10
WASH & Hygiene	Hygiene Kit	set	10,692 / 1,976	3,806 / 0
WASH & Hygiene	Piyush (Chlorine Drops)	pcs	6,300 / 685	4,550 / 0
Protection & Dignity	Sanitary Pad & Innerwear	pcs	12,590 / 1,557	3,760 / 140
Protection & Dignity	Baby / Newborn Kit	pcs	5,022 / 124	317 / 0
Fuel & Energy	Battery	pcs	2,400 / 152	4 / 3

 

At this scale — for instance 197 tonnes of rice received into Nuwakot alone — the figures describe  pipeline stock rather than a single day’s airlift, and should not be compared to the itemised TIA  dispatch tables published on 4, 5 and 7 September, which recorded materially smaller, single-day  quantities. Gorkha and Dhading, both destinations in the 7 September table, do not appear in this  format at all. Whether this reflects a genuine change in reporting scope to Nuwakot and Rasuwa  only, or a change in which office compiles the table, is not stated.  

15. Physical and Economic Damage Assessment 

Not restated for a fourth consecutive report. The physical damage assessment introduced on 4  September — 7,570 private houses, 48 government structures, 18 schools, 7 health facilities, 55  kilometres of road, and 37 motorable plus 68 suspension bridges — remains absent, as do the  economic damage estimate of NPR 38,754.68 crore, the early recovery requirement of NPR 795.3  crore and the directly impacted population figure of 32,963. With today’s disclosure of NPR 555.87  million in NGO and INGO contributions and a further NPR 508.1 million in fast-tracked project  funding, the absence of any updated damage or needs baseline against which to size that funding is  an increasingly material gap.  

16. Coordination and Command 

• Daily Monsoon Response Command Post meetings and Mobilization Team briefings continue,  with no meeting number, chair or decisions given, as in every round since 5 September.  • NDRRMA’s Situation Room maintains daily contact with each local government and ward to  prepare municipality-level Report Cards.  
• The Social Welfare Council’s fast-track project mechanism, described in Section 13, is the first  evidence of a distinct coordination and financing channel operating in parallel to the Command Post  structure.  

17. Ongoing Risk and Information Gaps 

Missing-persons methodology break. The jump from 4,894 to 5,428, alongside a wholesale change  in chart categories and the disappearance of any printed numeric breakdown, is the most important  data-quality issue in this report. It should be treated and communicated as a discontinuity, not a one day change, until NDRRMA publishes a reconciled breakdown.  

NGO and INGO funding disclosure. The first appearance of Social Welfare Council figures is a  significant transparency development for the sector, but the relationship between the NPR 508.1  million fast-track approval and the NPR 508.61 million already reported as delivered assistance is  unclear and should be clarified before either is cited as incremental funding.  

Dhading holding centres. The apparent disappearance of Dhading from the holding-centre count is  well supported by the arithmetic but not confirmed by NDRRMA narrative. If centres have genuinely 

closed, this is good news worth verifying and reporting; if it is a reporting omission, 197 people may  be uncounted.  

Air operations counter. Unchanged at 1,157 for a second consecutive round despite reported  helicopter flights on both days. The figure should not be treated as current.  

Static sectors. WASH and Agriculture were both restated verbatim from 7 September with no  figures updated, and the Health Sector’s four headline figures (medical teams, forensic teams,  counselling teams, epidemiology teams) also did not move. Partners should not assume these figures  reflect today’s activity.  

Lhende Khola dammed lake. Not mentioned for a ninth consecutive report, while search teams  continue to work at the Rasuwagadhi powerhouse and control point directly below it. This remains  the most consequential unaddressed information gap in the series.  

Devighat bridge naming. A third consecutive report describing what appear to be two separate  bridge structures at the same crossing without ever stating whether they are one project or two. This  should be resolved before either progress figure is used in partner reporting.  

Prepared by Rural Reconstruction Nepal (RRN) • For internal and partner circulation • 8  September 2026. Figures provisional and subject to revision by NDRRMA. USD conversions  approximate, at NPR 152.4/USD. NEOC toll-free: 1234.
