Nigeria — Flood Situation Report — Plateau State (17 September 2024)

Between 4 and 8 September 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Plateau State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 8 locations in Plateau State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. 
In the two local government areas (LGAs) of Plateau State that were assessed, DTM identified 5,717 individuals in 1,129 households affected by the floods. These individuals included IDPs displaced by the floods and residents impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. Twenty-nine per cent (29%) of the affected houses are habitable but need repairs, 18 per cent were partially damaged but need repairs, and 6 per cent were completely destroyed. In 88 per cent of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the primary sources of income.
