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. |

Flood |
United States |
Eastern Kentucky and eastern Missouri were impacted by major flooding from a stalled frontal system, which damaged thousands of homes, businesses, vehicles and other infrastructure in late-July. Areas around St. Louis received 8-12 inches of rainfall that required swift water rescues due to flooded interstates and homes across the St. Louis metropolitan area. A large region of 5-10+ inches of rainfall across eastern Kentucky produced deadly flash flooding. Over 600 helicopter rescues and many swift water rescues by boat were needed to evacuate people who were trapped by the quickly-rising flood waters. The North Fork of the Kentucky River at Jackson also reached major flood stage setting a new record crest of 43.47' (the previous record was 43.1' set in 1939). $1.5b |

Drought |
United States |
Severe drought conditions impacted many Western and Central states. Large reservoirs across the West including Lake Mead, Lake Powell, Lake Oroville, and Shasta Lake, among others continue to be depleted. Lake Mead, the Nation's largest reservoir, is nearing dead pool status and is at the lowest level since it was filled in the 1930s. The Great Salt Lake is also near record-low levels. The impacts of the drought affected crop production across many states and sharply increased feeding costs for livestock. Many segments of the Mississippi River also experienced low water levels causing delays and reductions in river commerce. Extreme heat also developed for many days across Western and Central states. These excess heat conditions caused more than one hundred heat-related fatalities across Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Texas. The 2022 drought was one of the costlier droughts on record, with a diverse array of direct impacts across different regions and industries. $22.9b |

Epidemic |
Sao Tome et Principe |
On 13 May 2022, the Ministry of Public Health of Sao Tome-and-Principe reported the first outbreak of Dengue fever in Sao Tome-and-Principe to the WHO.
The suspected cases started ending March 2022, with recorded cases suffering from severe fever and clinical characteristics of Dengue fever. On 11 April 2022, the laboratory of the central hospital reported a suspected case of dengue fever to clinical officials, triggering such implementation of epidemiological and entomological surveillance protocols. On the same day, the Ayres Central Hospital in Menezes reported a positive case of dengue fever to officials at the Epidemiological Surveillance Department (DVE in Portuguese). The reported case was a 27-year-old Sao Tomean, whose place of residence is Portugal and who works on the island of Guadeloupe. He reportedly arrived on leave with his family on 26 March 2022. He started having symptoms (fever, headaches, and joint pain) on 4 April 2022. Initially treated at the Mezochi (Trindade) health centre, he was referred to the main central hospital because of persistent fever.
The spread of the disease quickly get to all the country districts and as of 26th August 2022, 980 cases of dengue fever were already reported. Ahead of the rainy season, there was a high probability to see a pick on the caseload and given the health capacity, a risk of the outbreak getting out of hand without stronger early actions and preventive measures. Part of the MoH partners, the Cruz Vermelha de Sao Tome e Principe launched a DREF for anticipatory action ahead of the flooding season. |

SEVERE LOCAL STORM |
United States |
The death toll from a pre-Christmas blizzard in much of the United States has risen to 48, with the number in western New York alone hitting 27, marking the blizzard as the region's deadliest in at least 50 years.
Roads remain impassable and almost 10,000 people are still without power 4 days after as the unrelenting storm is forecast to drop as much as a foot of additional snow, Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said during a Monday afternoon news conference. Rescuers are struggling to free people trapped in their cars, while people stuck in shelters and nursing homes are running out of food.
The dead have been found in their cars and homes, and in snowbanks, and some perished while shovelling snow. Rescue and recovery efforts from the days-long storm continued Monday.
On Friday and Saturday, in one of the worst-hit regions in the country, the blizzard roared through western New York, stranding motorists, knocking out power and preventing emergency crews from reaching residents in frigid homes and stuck cars. |
