Professor Rajendra Dawadi, director of a school in Nuwakot, managed to save 900 students ten minutes before a flood hit the institution. The teacher acted after receiving four alerts about the possibility of flooding.

The school was located in a high-risk area, and the flood represented an imminent danger to the students. Thanks to the professor's quick action, all students were evacuated in time to avoid casualties.

A student who survived the event said she escaped "by a matter of 10 seconds." The account highlights the urgency and precision of the decision made by Rajendra Dawadi.

The case occurred in Nepal, a region where extreme weather phenomena have been causing destruction and requiring rapid emergency actions.
