Hurricane Alberta was a large category 5 hurricane that caused 737 deaths, 3,500 injuries, and more than Z$63 billion in damage in early September 2001 along the coast of Southwest Zamastan, specifically in the city of Tregueux and surrounding areas. Alberta was the first named storm of the 2001 season. It formed on August 29th in the central Cantalle Ocean, became a category 2 hurricane, and made landfall in Janapa on September 1st before growing in intensity once again over the Ossinia Sea and making landfall near Tregueux on September 4th as a category 5. It began to weaken as it continued moving inland, dissipating fully on September 8th.

Major flooding occured in Tregueux as multiple levee water protection systems failed and inundated much of the city's lowlying areas. The storm damaged many of Tregueux's main transport networks, like the Central Train System, leaving tens of thousands of people who had not evacuated the city prior to landfall stranded with little access to food, shelter, or other basic necessities. The scale of the disaster in Tregueux and, to an extent, Alenchon provoked massive national and international response efforts; federal, local, and private rescue operations evacuated displaced persons out of the city over the following weeks. The administration of President Camren Ellison was criticized for a slow federal response to the disaster, as hundreds of people died and the damage became one of the most expensive natural disasters in the country's history.
