In April 2024, extensive flooding impacted several regions of Kazakhstan and Russia, specifically in the Ural Mountains and Siberia.[2] Snow melt caused freshets[1] resulting in the Orsk Dam collapsing.[3] In Russia, a federal emergency was declared.[4] Hundreds of thousands of people were evacuated,[5] including over 86,000 people in Kazakhstan.[6] At least eight people died and hundreds of livestock have drowned in floods that are described to have inundated an area the size of western Europe.[1]
