I have never seen a "complex emergency", but I do not frequent the RSOE site often.

This is what it defines a "complex emergency" as:

The official definition of a complex emergency is "a humanitarian crisis in a country, region or society where there is total or considerable breakdown of authority resulting from internal or external conflict and which requires an international response that goes beyond the mandate or capacity of any single agency and/ or the ongoing United Nations country program.

21 dead and 141 injured?

hmmmm....

ETA: Looks like it's due to snowstorms from what I can tell.

This as well, not gettin much else though!

Ill keep digging

Im pretty sure that they are talking about the super cold air mass over Russia, the one that's dropping -30c -50c air temps. The air mass is said to have caused more than two dozen deaths and hospitalized 150 already.

There is an RT article about it.

The first thing I noticed was "area" listing these two, Moscow & Novosibirsk among others. The distance between them is something like the distance from St Louis, MO to Los Angeles. I don't know about the others without looking them up but they appear to be referring to an area at least equal to the US west of the Mississippi River.
