🇩🇿Algeria
Algeria's densely populated northern coast lies along the active boundary between the African and Eurasian plates, exposing cities from Algiers to Oran to destructive earthquakes such as the 2003 Boumerdès quake. Summer wildfires in the forested Tell Atlas, including the deadly 2021 fires in Kabylie, along with flash floods and drought add recurring climate-driven risks.
