The Indian Himalayan town of Joshimath is being evacuated as its buildings crumble.
The region is vulnerable to earthquakes and has seen a number of disasters in recent years.
Experts blame melting glaciers and relentless construction.
Evacuated families were left with nowhere to go and no way to make a living.
