Between 4 and 8 September 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Taraba State Emergency Management Agency (TSEMA), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 56 locations in Taraba State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding.

In the seven (7) Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Taraba State that were assessed, DTM identified 32,319 individuals in 7,349 households affected by the floods. These individuals included IDPs displaced by the floods and residents impacted by the floods but remained in their communities. The affected population included 1,741 displaced individuals and 232 returnees. Twenty per cent (20%) of the affected houses are habitable but need repair, 12 per cent are partially damaged and need repairs, and nine per cent are completely destroyed. In 77 per cent of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the primary sources of income.
