Armenia is a mountainous country. There are numerous disasters.

# data[].attributes.headline
Along the years earthquakes have affected vast communities: the most devastating seismic event was in 1988 in Spitak, where 25,000 people were killed. Meteorological disasters have also become more frequent and intense in the last few decades, with increasing flood, landslides, mudslide. In this scenario also droughts, accentuated by climate change, occur almost every year. UNISDR 2009 Global Assessment Report includes Armenia in the group of countries with highest relative economic loss and worse economic resilience to natural hazards.

In the Republic of Armenia 15% of an entire population (about 470,000 people) live in the areas of the disaster risks. Armenia’s main threats are from land- and mudslides, primarily on mountain slopes and hillsides. About one-fifth of all communities in Armenia have been affected by landslides. In 2015 areas with the highest risk of mudslides included Vayots Dzor (100 per cent of area at risk), Tavush (78 per cent), Syunik (70 per cent) and Lori (65 per cent).

A landslide is a collapse of a mass of earth or rock from a mountain or cliff caused by the force of gravity, which is triggered by a number of factors, such as earthquakes, seismic triggers, and human activity.
Clay layer landslides are very common in Armenia, where the water is gathered between the two layers, and eventually the top layer starts to move as a result of the external factors. They occur mainly in mountainous areas, from habitation areas to pastures and hills.

The best way to prevent landslides from occurring is not supporting their creation. Humans are the main culprit behind disasters, the rest are natural phenomena turned into disasters by human negligence.
About 47,000 people, which is the 1,5% of the whole population of Armenia, are under the threat of a landslide.

” Although Armenia is much smaller compared to the other countries of the CIS, it has serious commitments. In particular our meteorological stations collect and analyze climate change-related data not only of Armenia, but also the entire Caucasus,”

In the past decade Armenia saw many improvements in emergency preparedness and in reducing the risk of disasters. Armenia is deemed one of the most disaster prone countries in the world: it is prone to all types of disasters except the sea ones. Severe earthquakes, frequent landslides, hail storms, droughts, floods threaten the safety of people and cause considerable damage impeding the sustainable development of the country.

The forests of Armenia have suffered from severe deforestation and degradation during the recent decades due to the socio-economic situation in the country. Climate change poses an additional threat for the forest ecosystems of Armenia – wildfires. The forecasted increase in temperature and further aridization of Armenia’s climate is leading to more frequent wildfires, which are additionally affecting the scarce forests of Armenia.   Early warning signs of the fire risks under climate change have been observed during the past decade in Armenia. The extremely dry and hot summer of 2010 translated into a severe wildfire season. The combined 852 hectare area burned by forest fires in 2010

Armenia is a typical mountain country with a well defined mountain relief and ramified river drainage: approximately half of the country‘s territory and 80% of the population is exposed to catastrophic events. “Armenia is deemed one of the most disaster prone countries in the world: it is prone to all types of disasters except the sea ones. Severe earthquakes, frequent landslides, hail storms, droughts, floods threaten the safety of people and cause considerable damage impeding the sustainable development of the country” (PPRD East Programme Technical Report #4 – Republic of Armenia National Report on Disaster Reduction). Lying in one of the most seismically active regions of the world, earthquakes represent a continuous threat. Along the years earthquakes have affected vast communities: the most devastating seismic event was in 1988 in Spitak, where 25,000 people were killed. Meteorological disasters have also become more frequent and intense in the last few decades, with increasing flood, landslides, mudslide.

Frequent landslides, mudflows, floods and other natural hazards negatively impact infrastructure, agriculture and water resources, increasing the country’s
vulnerability to climate variability and change. Between 1998 and 2010, weather-related hazards caused losses of $2.8 billion, averaging $450 million per year. Unemployment remains high at 17 percent, while 30 percent of the population lives in poverty.Agriculture is vital to the economy, accounting for 19 percent of
GDP and employing 39 percent of the country’s population of 3 million. Agricultural production is vulnerable to increasing temperatures and reduced precipitation, particularly in areas requiring irrigation. River flows are projected to decline with rising temperatures and declining precipitation, reducing freshwater supply. Forests, which cover 11 percent of the country, are at risk
due to increased aridity, which reduces growth rates and regeneration, making trees more susceptible to pests, diseases and forest fires. More frequent and longer heatwaves pose health risks, especially to vulnerable populations.
