Executive Summary

Restrict staff movement in Baku and prepare for rapid regional evacuation triggers. Severe flash floods forced emergency workers to evacuate 454 people from low-lying city districts. Flooded underpasses in the Nasimi area will severely delay your daily field operations. Instruct drivers to avoid Yasamal and maintain emergency cash reserves for sudden logistical disruptions. Monitor the southern border closely as military strikes across Iran drive thousands of refugees northward.
