Earthquake in central Bangladesh There are reportedly at least ten victims and over a hundred injured due to a quake estimated between magnitude 5.5 and 5.7, which shook old Dhaka and other nearby densely populated areas of the capital. Panic spread among the population who poured into the streets not knowing where to take shelter; criticism arose over the lack of large open spaces, which exposed people to the risk of buildings collapsing on those trying to avoid falling debris during a fairly strong earthquake that was also felt in India. When planning the layout of a city in addition to considering earthquake-resistant standards, escape routes and suitable open spaces should be provided to accommodate large numbers of people (for example in public parks) which should also be prepared in advance to manage emergencies. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 22, 2025

 Discussions on who will host the COP31 conference Australian authorities have reportedly stated that they do not intend to oppose Turkey as the host country for the upcoming COP31 conference on reducing pollutant emissions; in fact, doing so would not send a good signal regarding the unity needed to effectively act on global climate issues. Australia had previously declared itself willing to host the conference also due to the proximity of the Pacific Islands threatened by tropical cyclones and rising sea levels, but apparently estimates of the COP31 costs played a role in a step back. If neither Australia nor Turkey accepts the choice could fall on the city of Bonn in Germany and in the meantime discussions on this issue continue, but studies estimate that emissions from fossil fuels are set to reach a new record by 2025. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 19, 2025 n°: 6109 Italy divided in two regarding weather conditions While the northern regions have been affected by a wave of bad weather with for example tornadoes in Liguria region, heavy downpours, significant damage and one victim and one people missing in Friuli, in the southern regions the temperatures have been unusually high for the season; in fact, there are reports of swimming in the sea on the beaches of Calabria and tourists enjoying sun and calm seas in Tropea, even though the region often has to face a prolonged water crisis that forces rationing, causes inconvenience for the population, and damages crops. To report moving the attention to other scenarios six people have died in southeastern Vietnam due to intense rainfall and resulting landslides; then recently in England evacuations took place near the town of Monmouth in Wales because of the storm called "Claudia", a river overflowed flooding streets, cars, and businesses with muddy water. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 17, 2025 n°: 6107 Difficulties in Jamaica due to a hurricane The death toll in Jamaica would have risen to at least forty-five, with fifteen missing due to the hurricane named "Melissa" that struck the country two weeks ago; two cities are still unreachable, so this is still a provisional count while services are being restored. Helicopters have dropped food and essential supplies to isolated communities, then it is reported that thirty thousand people have been evacuated with eleven hundred still living in eighty-eight open shelters. The category five hurricane "Melissa" was one of the most powerful hurricanes in the Atlantic, with record-breaking characteristics, having for example destroyed homes and crops in Cuba, caused severe flooding in southwestern Haiti with at least forty-three victims and aid has been provided to populations struggling to recover from the impact of the strong vortex. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 12, 2025 n°: 6103 Another typhoon lashes the Philippines A week after one typhoon another strong vortex called "Fung-wong" characterized by wind gusts reaching two hundred thirty kilometers per hour is affecting the eastern coasts of the Philippines, there are reports of two victims and nearly one million people evacuated. Experts state that the number of typhoons has not increased due to climate change, but with warmer seas they accumulate more energy making wind gusts and rainfall stronger, then they often move slowly resulting in greater destructive power. To report on a related note but shifting to another natural issue the severe water crisis in Tehran with Iranian authorities having long been forced to ration water in the capital; in fact, it hasn't rained and in the previous months high temperatures have depleted water reserves, there is also consideration of evacuating the city. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 10, 2025 n°: 6101 A strong typhoon lashes central Vietnam After causing at least one hundred eighty deaths and one hundred thirty-five missing in the Philippines the strong typhoon called "Kalmaegi" struck central Vietnam; reports mention at least two casualties, some missing, over five hundred thirty thousand people evacuated often by boat, followed by landslides and power outages. Large areas of central Vietnam have already been affected by recent flooding due to torrential rainfall, and forecasts predict more heavy rains, this typhoon could then head towards Laos and northeastern Thailand where emergency warnings have been issued. To report on a different note but still on environmental topics the abnormal and very high temperature monitored in some lakes in the Amazonas state in Brazil due to droughts and heatwaves with record cases and also heat described as brutal. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 07, 2025 n°: 6099 Floods again in Central Philippines There are reportedly more than forty victims due to Typhoon "Kalmaegi" and the resulting floods, entire cities on the island of Cebu in Central Philippines are said to be submerged with cars and trucks dragged away by the force of the water and sometimes even shipping containers, authorities describe the situation as unprecedented and while the danger was expected to come from strong winds it is the devastating floods that pose the real risk to the population. Hundreds of thousands of people have had to leave their homes often wading through muddy water and some say this is the worst event in decades. To report turning the attention to other scenarios nine victims in Nepal due to avalanches caused by snowstorms and bad weather that swept across and buried climbers attempting to scale well-known peaks favored for this type of sport. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 05, 2025 n°: 6097 Earthquake in Afghanistan and floods in Vietnam At least twenty people are reported dead and three hundred twenty injured in northern Afghanistan in a mountainous area due to a 6.3 magnitude earthquake with its epicenter near the city of Mazar-e Sharif (which has a population of five hundred twenty-three thousand) at a depth of about twenty-eight kilometers; rescuers are said to be searching through the rubble, including parts of a collapsed mosque. As for Vietnam torrential rains, overflowing rivers and consequent floods have caused thirty-five deaths in central areas of the country, with the cities of Hue and Hoi An particularly affected; sixteen thousand five hundred houses are flooded and tens of thousands of livestock farms have also been affected or swept away, frequently the population had to move through the water sometimes even using boats. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 03, 2025 n°: 6095 A hurricane lashes Haiti after affecting Jamaica At least twenty people are reported dead in Haiti due to the passage of the powerful hurricane "Melissa", in Jamaica island, there is talk of a trail of destruction with wind gusts reaching up to three hundred kilometers per hour especially in western regions and five victims; then there are also casualties in Cuba and the Dominican Republic.
