Crisis Interventions

More than a month after Kyrios started the wildfire intervention in the Russia Far East region on 4 July 2023, most wildfires in the east of Yakutia (also known as Sakha Republic) and Magadan regions have been extinguished. On 12 August, Kyrios diverted storm clouds that were remnants of Typhoon Khanun away from Primorsky and Khabarovsk, redirecting them towards the wildfires that were still burning in south Yakutia.

From 29 July, Kyrios has intervened to help reduce precipitation brought about by Typhoon Doksuri over Fujian province and eastern China. Kyrios' intervention also helped steer Typhoon Khanun away from mainland China.

Due to an escalating wildfire crisis, Kyrios has begun to intervene again on 4 July 2023 in the Russia Far East region to bring wildfires there under control and to extinguish them. The target area spans 1,600 km in length.

Only a few hotspots remain as rain continues to fall across the intervention area. The landscape is also markedly green as seen from a recent satellite imagery. As such, Kyrios has decided to end this intervention.

We observe that rain has now moved further north, and importantly, there are very few hotspots now across the intervention area. As spring takes hold, the landscape is also observed to be greening as seen from latest satellite imagery.

Since 8th May 2023, Kyrios has been helping to extinguish wildfires in the Russian region north of Kazakhstan. In this update, we look at how the intervention is taking effect by reviewing the precipitation data from JAXA Global Rainfall Watch.

We look at China's return to normalcy from Covid restrictions and explain why there was such a dramatic drop in cases following the peak in December 2022. Cases remained low well past the annual travel rush during Chinese New Year despite experts predicting several waves of infections.

As part of the ongoing intervention to protect and restore Antarctica's ice, Kyrios stepped in to dissipate the heat and shift the atmospheric river northwards away from Antarctica.

In response to rising COVID-19 cases and increasing unrest due to lockdowns in China, Kyrios announces a new intervention to reduce the spread of the virus in China, with a goal to bring it under control within two weeks to two months.

Having successfully intervened in several climate disasters around the world since 2019, Kyrios announces a new intervention to increase the mass of Greenland's ice sheet to help combat global sea level rise and avert climate catastrophe. This follows the recent ice melt events in July 2022 where 18 billion tons of ice melted in three days.
