Executive Summary

Reroute all NGO staff movements away from the Bibi-Heybat road and Sabunchu district immediately. Severe flooding and landslides have collapsed residential structures and blocked major transit corridors. High-level diplomatic visits and regional ceasefire negotiations will trigger sudden security checkpoints across Baku. Instruct your field teams to avoid the Nasimi and Sabail districts during these talks. Monitor commercial flight statuses closely because regional airspace remains highly unpredictable.
