In late July 2026, heavy rain triggered severe flooding in Kastamonu province, inundating over 150 structures in the Cide district and prompting the evacuation of dozens of residents. Local authorities, including Governor Meftun Dallı and the Turkish Red Crescent, coordinated a large‑scale response involving hundreds of vehicles, water pumps, and rescue personnel, while landslides forced road closures in nearby Doğanyurt.

A week later, on 2 August, the region faced a separate emergency when a vehicle lost control on the D100 highway near Tosya, rolling into a water canal. The crash killed two occupants and injured four others. Fire‑fighter teams, police, and medical staff provided on‑site aid and transported the injured to hospital, while road‑maintenance crews cleared the wreckage and reopened the highway.

Both events illustrate a period of heightened emergency activity in Kastamonu, with local and national agencies repeatedly mobilising resources to protect residents and restore infrastructure after distinct natural‑hazard and traffic incidents.
