Tropical Cyclone |
Cuba |
In Jamaica, Ian moved south of the island, producing around three to six inches of rainfall, storm surge and swells that affected coastal communities. While the tropical storm watch for Jamaica was lifted as Ian veered away from the island, a flash flood warning across several parishes remained in effect until the morning hours of 26 September, with localized flooding in some parishes, such as Clarendon, prompting the activation of emergency shelters.
In the Cayman Islands, Ian moved south-west of the islands as a Category 1 Hurricane, prompting road and dock closures as debris generated from flooding blocked access points. Power outages and disruption to water systems were reported, however, as of 27 September, electricity and water have been close to fully restored. Ian's rapidly changing track posed challenges for preparedness and response operations in the territory, with preliminary assessments showing relatively minor flood-related impacts, especially in low-lying coastal areas.
On 26 September at 7:00 pm EST, Ian made direct landfall in Pinar Del Río province, battering large swaths of western Cuba as a powerful Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 185 km/h. Six western provinces have been affected and more than 61,000 people have been evacuated from high-risk areas. As per WFP-ADAM, close to 600,000 people were exposed to wind speeds of 120 Km/h or higher. According to local and international media outlets, Pinar del Río, the westernmost province of Cuba, bore the brunt of Ian's wrath, with significant damage reported across the province. As of 27 September, Ian has reportedly left at least two people dead and thousands without electricity. In La Habana, one of the six provinces under a hurricane alert, moderate rainfall and strong wind gusts have left several areas in the island's capital of the same name without power.

US president Joe Biden declared a disaster in Florida and pledged federal support after Hurricane Ian churned through the state, causing widespread damage and leaving millions of residents without power.
More than 2.6mn utility customers were estimated to have lost electricity as emergency crews began to assess destruction from the storm, which made landfall on Florida's south-west coast on Wednesday with maximum sustained winds of 150mph, before crossing the peninsula and reaching the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday.
High-speed winds, destructive waves and a storm surge of up to 18ft left debris strewn across neighborhoods, knocked down houses, trapped people inside buildings and forced businesses and airports to close. |

Volcano |
Comoros |
On 15 July 2022, abnormal activity of the Karthala volcano in the Comoros was recorded by the Karthala Volcano Observatory (KVO), which manifested itself as persistent microseisms on the western flank of the island of Ngazidja. Regular observation of the volcano's activities has been initiated by the observatory with regular reports of continued seismic activity. Considering this worrying information transmitted by the Karthala observatory and according to the National Emergency Plan related to Karthala's activities in the country, the Minister of Interior in charge of security launched the yellow alert on 17 August 2022. The country was thus entering the phase of volcanic vigilance.
On 22 August, the Directorate of Civil Security convened the first information meeting of all risk and disaster management actors, including the Comoros Red Crescent, to discuss the immediate actions to be taken following the alert.
In the Fixed Command Post meeting on 5 September, the Karthala Volcano Observatory showed that the evolution of the volcano is worrying as the seismic movements have decreased and the magma pockets have gone from 12km deep to 1.5km and insisted on vigilance as the magma can move quickly to the surface which can surprise everyone if there is no preparation now. The KVO experts have shown that the reaction of the Karthala volcano can be unpredictable. According to their analysis, this means that there is very little control and certainty over whether the orange or red phase is triggered. This level of volcanic alert may therefore last for days, or weeks or even a year but can also return to a normal situation. The nature of the eruption is not known in advance, but several risks are already identified by the KVO based on current observations and historical data |

Congo, Republic |
n 14 September 2022, the Ministry of Humanitarian Action of the Congo requested the support of the Congolese government's partners to support the response to the population movements observed in N'gabe, following community violence in the Kwamunthu territory in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since 24 August 2022, some villages in the territory of Kwamunthu in the Democratic Republic of Congo, neighbouring the district of N'gabé in the Republic of Congo, have been affected by inter-ethnic conflicts between the Batékés, the Bayakas and the Ngombé. A large number of the DRC populations belonging to the different ethnic groups affected by this conflict have been forced to cross the Congo River to take refuge in various localities in the department of Pool-Nord in the district of N'gabé in its nine villages. They found refuge in the villages on the right bank upstream of the Congo River on the DRC side, forcing the displaced populations to return to the left bank of the Congo River on the Republic of Congo side (Ngabé). This conflict has caused the displacement of 1,700 people and the destruction of several houses, representing, as of the date of receipt of the report received from the government (14 September), 340 households without shelter and 1,700 people (340 households) affected and vulnerable received by the political-administrative authorities of Ngabé and many others in host families in some villages of N'gabé, including Sedeck, Ngobila and Mossengajoko 1. These 340 households have already been registered by the UNHCR. |

Major roads in the city centre were rendered impassable due to the flood waters, heavily constraining vehicles and pedestrians having to find alternative routes.

Congo Democratic Republic |
The Democratic Republic of Congo has just recorded a new case of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) on 17 August 2022, in the town of Beni, Beni health zone, North Kivu province. According to the authorities, the history of this case goes back to 23 July 2022 with the hospitalisation of a 46 year old female patient, female and widowed at the Beni general referral hospital, who died in respiratory distress in a setting of HIV-TB immunodepression on 15 August 2022 in the Intensive Care Unit of the Beni HGR, in Beni Territory in North Kivu Province. A routine oro-pharyngeal swab was taken on 15 August 2022 by the HGR Beni team. The sample tested positive for EVD at the Beni laboratory and was confirmed at the INRB laboratory in Goma. Sequencing performed at the Rodolphe Mérieux Laboratory of INRB-Goma confirmed the Ebola Zaire strain and further demonstrated that this case is linked to a strain from the tenth outbreak of 2018 in November in Beni and not to a new introduction of the virus. The risk of possible spread of this epidemic is high due to untraced contact cases. According to the latest SITREP, 179 contact cases have been identified, of which 39% of high-risk contacts have not yet been traced, including 5 in neighbouring health zones (4 in Oicha and 1 in Mutwanga, a town on the border with Uganda). All contact cases found and the remains buried by the DRC to date have been collected and tested with negative results so far. The DRC is continuing the 21-day follow-up on these different contact cases. The Beni health zone is surrounded by several health zones, all of which are part of the Beni territory, which has an estimated population of 1,487,608 inhabitants, or 297,522 households (Rapport Etat Civil, 3rd Quarter, updated on 31 March 2021). |
