US$1.8b  WF-2021-000217-USA Wild fire United States Severe drought conditions and periods of extreme heat provided conditions favorable for another damaging western wildfire season most focused across California, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Arizona. The Dixie Fire consumed over 960,000 acres making it the second-largest wildfire on record in California while also destroying more than 1,000 structures. California's Caldor Fire grew rapidly during August, threatening South Lake Tahoe communities and burned over 220,000 acres.

This wildfire is the most destructive on record in Colorado.

US$11.2b  CW-2021-000216-USA Cold Wave United States Historic cold wave and winter storm impacts many northwest, central and eastern states. Temperature departures exceeding 40.0 degrees F (22.2 degrees C) below normal occurred from Nebraska southward to Texas. The prolonged arctic air caused widespread power outages in Texas, as well as other southern states, with multiple days of sustained below-freezing temperatures. At the peak of the outage, nearly 10 million people were without power. Additional impacts were frozen water pipes, which burst upon thawing causing water damage to buildings. These extreme conditions also caused or contributed to the direct and indirect deaths of more than 210 people in Texas alone. This count does not include excess mortality that may be hundreds of additional deaths. There were also snow and ice impacts across numerous states including Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Colorado, Oregon and Washington. This is now the costliest U.S. winter storm event on record, more than doubling the inflation-adjusted cost of the 'Storm of the Century' that occurred in March 1993.

This part of the territory is morphologically very uneven and with a steep slope, which increases the speed of the water and has caused erosion and landslides in all the surrounding localities. The lack of land levelling and dykes spread the damage widely. The entire country has been affected by the floods and current interventions in the country are focused in the capital and the greatest needs remain in the districts of Lemba and Me-Zochi which have about 9,000 people affected out of a total of 15,000 according to the country's population data.  LS-2021-000212-MMR Land Slide Myanmar A landslide at a jade mine in Hpakant Township, Kachin State (northern Mynamar) on 21 December has killed at least one person, while up to 100 people are missing, according to media reports.  EQ-2021-000211-IDN Earthquake Indonesia Medium humanitarian impact, magnitude 7.3M tsunami generates 0m  OT-2021-000210-ZAF Other South Africa In the early hours of the 12th of December, heavy thunderstorms hit Mthatha town, in the OR Tambo district of the Eastern Cape province.

Based on Statistics Committee "Armstat" data, the refugee-like population are likely to face increased rental expenses in the coming months. Given that the refugee-like population was already facing financial hardships before the winter season, having a hard time covering basic livelihood needs and trying to find a balance between such needs as utility payments, food and clothes, healthcare, and education costs, the imminent winter season will exacerbate those difficulties, precipitating a severe humanitarian crisis. It is also worth noting that while the host communities have played a critical role in welcoming the refugee-like population and providing shelter and livelihood support, their resources have been depleting as well. With the increased expenses associated with the winter season, their support is likely to decrease. The increasing winterization needs of the refugee-like population have been further confirmed by the continuous needs assessment and community engagement efforts of the National Society. Starting from January of this year, 3,518 people were registered for assistance by the Armenian RC's hotline of whom 90% asked for cash assistance, as most of them are renting accommodation and cannot cover all expenses, particularly during the winter season.   CE-2021-000205-CMR Complex Emergency Cameroon The clashes of 8 December 2021 in the town of Kousseri, capital of the Logone and Chari department, marked a new escalation of intercommunity violence.
