Executive Summary

Reroute your field teams away from the Sabunchu district to avoid severe infrastructure collapses. Massive flash floods forced the evacuation of 166 citizens and destroyed illegal buildings across Baku. Strong winds and recent seismic activity will cause further structural failures in these vulnerable zones. Maintain emergency cash reserves because plunging global oil prices will severely strain the national economy.
