TikTok has introduced a new search guide in Nepal to help users access authoritative, up-to-date information during the ongoing monsoon flood season. The guide displays a prominent banner during flood-related searches, directing users to credible sources such as BIPAD—the national disaster information portal—TikTok’s Safety Center, and its Tragic Event Support guide. This resource educates users about tragic events, offers mental health support information, and encourages responsible content sharing and reporting.
Ferdous Mottakin, Head of Public Policy and Government Relations for South Asia at TikTok, emphasized the importance of timely and accurate information during crises. By collaborating with disaster response organizations, TikTok aims to support informed decisions and user safety. This initiative aligns with TikTok’s broader mission to promote credible information and a safer digital environment, empowering its community to stay informed and engaged responsibly during critical moments.
