Nigeria — Flood Situation Report — Kaduna State (19 September 2024)

Between 4 and 8 September 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (KADSEMA) and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 37 locations in Kaduna State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding. Through a network of 8 key informants and field focal points, and in close coordination with other humanitarian partners and local authorities, DTM conducted assessments in these locations to provide insights to the humanitarian community on the affected population's primary needs, vulnerabilities, and mobility intentions.
In the six local government areas (LGAs) of Kaduna State that were assessed, DTM identified 16,078 individuals in 2,526 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-four per cent (24%) of the affected houses are habitable but need repairs, 20 per cent were partially damaged and 7 per cent were completely destroyed. In 89 per cent of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the primary sources of income.
