Armenia SET Floods June 2024


Due to heavy rainfall since 25./26.05.2024, severe flooding occurred in two regions of Armenia, which caused some casualties and serious damage to infrastructural facilities such as bridges, roads, railroad lines, pump stations etc. The Armenian authorities asked for international support and accepted Switzerland’s offer for assistance through the deployment of a “SofortEinsatzTeam / SET”, specialized in carrying out structural assessments of damaged infrastructure. Decisions on optimum use of funds will be taken by the Crisis Cell chaired by the Head of HA in close coordination with the desk and Swiss representation in the country.
