Risks to the Health of Russian Population from Floods and Droughts in 2010-2020: A Scoping Review

Elena A. Grigorieva et al.

Summary: Climate change and natural disasters have a significant impact on human health, particularly in Russia. This review examines climatological and hydrological extremes in Russia from 2010 to 2020, focusing on floods, droughts, and their effects on population health. The study concludes that while it may not be possible to prevent all hazardous weather events, many health impacts can be mitigated through early warning systems, public health preparedness, and building climate resilient health systems.

Spatiotemporal variations of fatal landslides in Turkey

Tolga Gorum et al.

Summary: Landslides are devastating geohazards causing extensive socio-economic and environmental damages. This study in Turkey reveals an increasing dominance of human activities in fatal landslide rates, with distinct hotspot zones in the Eastern Black Sea and Marmara Region. The research also suggests potential impacts of economic crisis and political stability on fatal landslide trends.

Hazard assessment and mitigation of non-seismically fatal landslides in China

Fanyu Zhang et al.

Summary: Fatal landslides have caused severe disasters in China, with higher population density leading to greater life risks. Over the past 13 years, the government has invested significant resources in landslide prevention, successfully predicting and mitigating a large number of landslides. However, there is a concerning trend of increasing fatal landslides despite these efforts.

Historical Landslide Fatalities in British Columbia, Canada: Trends and Implications for Risk Management

Alex Strouth et al.

Summary: The article summarizes historical data on landslides in British Columbia, showing that fatalities caused by landslides are rare and decreasing despite rapid population growth. Approximately half of the fatalities in the last decade are related to debris flows and floods impacting houses, while the other half are related to rockfalls and debris flows impacting highways.

Fatalities associated with the severe weather conditions in the Czech Republic, 2000-2019

Rudolf Brazdil et al.

Summary: The paper analyzes weather-related fatalities in the Czech Republic from 2000 to 2019, with deaths primarily occurring during frost, followed by glaze ice, rain, and snow. While most fatalities are adult males, indirect deaths outnumber direct ones, and there is an overall significant decreasing trend in fatalities during this period.
