Executive Summary

Reroute your Baku field staff immediately to avoid severe flash floods and active landslide zones. Heavy rains overwhelmed city infrastructure and forced emergency workers to evacuate 166 citizens. Regional volatility is surging as evacuations from Iran increase following military strikes. The upcoming Iranian airspace closure will severely restrict your emergency evacuation options. Restrict staff movement near the Bibi-Heybat road and increase emergency cash reserves today.
