The 2021 Tasiastan Floods began in late November 2021, resulting from heavy monsoon rains in the Archismann Mountains, which affected the Takhsh River basin. Approximately one-fifth of Tasiastan's total land area was affected by floods, with the northern Ramrahi province facing the brunt of the damage and casualties (above 90% of the deaths occurred in that Province). According to Tasiastan government data, the floods directly affected about 10 million people, mostly by destruction of property, livelihood and infrastructure, with a death toll of close to 2,000.
CCA Secretary-General von Wettin had initially asked for Z$460 million for emergency relief, noting that the flood was the worst disaster she had ever seen. The CCA had been concerned that aid was not arriving fast enough, and the Coalition Health Organization reported that ten million people were forced to drink unsafe water. The Tasiastani economy was harmed by extensive damage to infrastructure and crops. Damage to structures was estimated to exceed Z$4 billion, and wheat crop damages were estimated to be over Z$500 million. Total economic impact may have been as much as Z$43 billion. CCA Peacekeeping and Zamastanian Army forces deployed from neighboring Jaginistan and Pekastan to help alleviate rescue teams.
The international community responded with massive relief drives and humanitarian aid was shipped into the country through corridors with Haduastan. The Winter Olympics in Kasema, Kyti, observed a moment of silence for the flood victims at the outset of the opening ceremony.
