Disaster Situation

A big flash flood occurs in Barun River (a Major tributary of Arun River) of Nepal from remote mountain area that swept away several bridges, hundreds of cattle causalities and 5 houses were completely damaged. The debris taken by the flash flood has blocked the Arun River at the confluence forming a lake of 2 km length and 500m width in the gorge. This has put the downstream communities under risk of possible outburst. Hence this is to request as follow;
1) To know the cause of flood and debris flow either landslide or glacier lake outburst?
2) To know the areal extent of the lake formed near the confluence
