Is it safe to travel to Congo - Brazzaville?
The UK FCDO advises against all travel to some areas of the country. That advice is limited to certain areas, and the notice we hold names none of them. The overall level is 3 out of 4. Over the last 12 months, 15 events were recorded here, 2 of them severe. Fire makes up most of the count, with 12 records and none severe. One flood was logged, and it was the severe one. One drought was logged. Counts say more about sensors than about stakes, so the advisory weighs more than any tally. July holds most of what was recorded: 12 events, all hazards combined. November, December and June hold one each. Fire, flood and drought are the three hazards that follow a season here. Recent major records also include a health episode.
What it changes for a nomad
Read the FCDO notice before you book, and again before you move around the country. It rules out some areas outright, and that is what decides where you can base yourself. Over a stay of several weeks, July is the month that carried the most records, 12 of the 15 over the last 12 months. If your dates are flexible, coming outside it gives you a thinner stretch. Fire, flood and drought run on a season here, so smoke, water and supply are what shift through the year. The one flood on record was severe, which tells you a single episode can be enough to cut a road. Three alerts are open at the moment. Keep a local news source, a charged power bank, and work that survives a day without connection.
