4298 Camanni Avalanches

The 4298 Camanni Avalanches were a natural disaster that struck the southeastern portions of Camanni that border the mountains that make up the nation of Biinighia. An unusually warm winter in the mountains resulted in enormous amounts of snow and rocks to become dislodged from the sides of the mountains. Though Biinighia was the origin point for the avalanches, it remained mostly unaffected, and it was Camanni that suffered. It is estimated that casualties numbered about several dozen; the death rate would have been significantly higher had it not been for Biinighian meteorlogists that warned Camanni of the impending danger several weeks in advance. Meteorologists had noted the shifting snow and, in the process of preparing Biinighia for the possibility of disaster, petitioned the Camanni government to do the same. The evacuations were costly for Camanni and burdened cities that were just outside of the evacuation zone, but they kept the death toll to a very low amount.
Biinghia sent first aid and other reconstruction efforts to Camanni once the avalanches were over. Estimates of the amount of money spent on Camanni relief are typically several million gold, to say nothing of the volunteer manpower that went into digging out roads, rebuilding houses, and caring for people displaced by the natural disaster.
