Flood |
Namibia |
Heavy rains were received in south eastern parts of Angola and north eastern parts of Namibia in the Cuvelai catchment during the 2nd week of January 2023, resulting in flooding conditions in Ondjiva and surrounding areas. First floodwaters were observed in some of the eastern flowing Cuvelai Iishanas (river plains) in the morning of Friday the 13th of January 2023 and during the early hours of the 17th of January, the hydrological recording station at Shanalumono located approximately 10km southwest of Oshikango reported floodwaters reaching the central Cuvelai Iishanas (river plain) with local media reporting dozens of homes flooded in several villages including Engela and Ouhongo (https://floodlist.com/africa/angola-namibia-floods-cuvelai-january-2023#:~:text=In%20Namibia%2C%20water%20flowing%20from,villages%20including%20Engela%20and%20Ouhongo.). Shanalumono is one of the main Iishanas (river plains) of the central Cuvelai River System on the Namibian side. According to the Namibia Hydrological Services, the water levels in the main Iishanas (river plains) south of the Angola/Namibia border are rising. As of 27th of January 2023, water levels at Engela station exceeded the 1m mark. Flood levels continue to increase as more rain persists in the Cuvelai catchment.
The NRCS commenced joint assessments with the different government departments in the Ohangwena and Oshana regions on the 14th of January 2023. A total of 2190 people are affected by the floods with 582 people (111 households) whose houses were totally submerged in water and 1608 people (327 households) whose houses were partially submerged. Of the total 2190 affected people, 300 people are from the Oshana region, and 1890 people are from the Ohangwena region. 582 people (111 households) whose houses were totally submerged were displaced and evacuated to 9 relocation sites (7 camps are in the Ohangwena region and housing 332 people, whilst 2 camps are in the Oshana region and housing 250 people). As 35 schools in the Ohangwena region, school equipment, and infrastructure have been damaged and 18 of the schools are currently closed. At several schools, learners have started camping at the school as they are not able to return to their homes on a daily basis due to the rising water. In the Ohangwena region, three (3) clinics have been cut off with communities not having access to them. |

According to UNOCHA, reports from local authorities and humanitarian partners show that the current fighting has displaced more than 126,000 people, with 40 people reportedly killed and over 60 injured. In addition, SRCS estimates that about 51,000 families have fled violence to seek safety elsewhere. The town is the capital of the Sool region, with four officially recognised districts, Caynaba, Las Caanood, Taleh, and Xudun, where about 480,744 households reside.
A month ago, around 20,000 people were already reported displaced by the resurgence of clashes.
There is an uncontrolled exodus of people out of the city seeking refuge in the surrounding area with host families or informal camps. People didn't have time to organise and pack belongings, and reports speak of people forming spontaneous settlements and sleeping under trees. Others take shelter with relatives, clansmen or friends. This often exacerbates already fragile conditions of those already experiencing drought impacts and food insecurity.
The conflict has exacerbated the current situation caused by an ongoing drought and severe food insecurity. Already existing IDPs and others vulnerable groups following the context are again exposed to displacement, challenges, food insecurity and health risk. For many fleeing this violence, it is the second time they have had to move after arriving in the city in search of food and water. Need and urge and assistance currently limited due to multiple aspects. Assistance to some vulnerable people is hard as they remain stuck in areas with ongoing fights. |

Drought |
Uruguay |
The lack of rainfall at the beginning of the year has caused a significant reduction in the availability and access to water in the country, which has also been affected by the presence of the La Niña phenomenon in the region. On Friday, 20 January 2023, the Uruguayan State, through National Emergency System (SINAE), extended a formal request to the Uruguayan Red Cross for support in the evaluation and possible response to the current drought.
According to SINAE, initial reports estimate more than 75,000 people affected by this emergency only in the five most affected departments of Tacuarembó, Cerro Largo, Florida, Lavalleja, and San José. Additionally, as per the information provided by the SINAE, the most pressing situation is related to the lack of access to safe water which is limiting the consumption and use of water, as well as maintenance of crops and livestock of approximately 1,300 families (5,200 people) located in these departments. |

Tornadoes |
United States |
An eighth person has been confirmed dead after violent storms dropped a tornado onto Alabama and Georgia on Thursday as authorities assessed the “tremendous” damage. All of those killed were adults found near their homes.
Gov. Kay Ivey (R) declared a state of emergency in six Alabama counties where the tornado caused the most damage: Autauga, Chambers, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore and Tallapoosa. Gov. Brian Kemp (R) declared a state of emergency for all of Georgia in response to the extreme weather.
There were no reports of deaths in hard-hit Selma, Ala., but Mayor James Perkins called the damage “tremendous.” Schools across Dallas County, Ala., which includes Selma, were shuttered Friday as engineers inspected buildings for structural damage, said Leroy Miles, vice president of the county's school board.
Hundreds of students and teachers couldn't have made it to their classrooms anyway, he added, because debris clogged the roads. On Thursday, as many as 200,000 Southern customers reported power outages. By Friday afternoon, 15,000 customers in Alabama were without electricity, according to poweroutage.us, mostly along the storm's path across the center of the state. In Georgia, about 20,000 were reporting outages.
The rotating thunderstorm or supercell that produced the deadly tornado in Autauga County first formed in Louisiana on Thursday morning before tracking 500 miles into eastern Georgia. The storm produced tornadoes along its path and lofted debris as high as 20,000 feet. Some tornado debris was tossed more than 10 miles from the storm's path |

United States |
Heavy rain continued to drench California on Tuesday as an ongoing parade of storms left much of the state in disarray, with power outages, collapsed roadways, mud and landslides and treacherous floodwaters widespread across nearly the length of the state.
Authorities have attributed at least 16 fatalities to the onslaught of storms that began in late December. On Monday, flash flooding prompted the evacuation of all of Montecito and other parts of Santa Barbara County and also swept away a 5-year-old boy who remains missing. Early Tuesday, two people died in a crash on Highway 99 near Visalia, between Fresno and Bakersfield, when a tree fell on the road, the California Highway Patrol said.
About 210,000 customers had no power across the state Tuesday after gusty overnight storms charged from the coast to the Central Valley. More outages were possible as strong storms continued to move across the state around midday, bringing downpours, torrential rain and possibly some hail to San Francisco. |

Drought |
United States |
Drought conditions impacted numerous Southern and Midwestern states (TX, LA, OK, KS, IL, MO, NE) and surrounding states. The agriculture sector has been impacted across these affected states including damage to field crops from lack of rainfall. Ranchers have also been forced to sell-off livestock early in some regions due to high feeding costs. For the second straight year, portions of the Mississippi River have experienced low water levels impacting river commerce. This low flow has also allowed salt water from the Gulf of Mexico to migrate northward, along the bottom of the Mississippi River, impacting water quality in southern Louisiana. Several Northwestern states including Washington, Oregon and Montana have also been impacted by increasing drought effects. |
