Heavy seasonal rains caused flooding in Rakhine State and other parts of the country at the end of June 2015. In addition, early on 30 July 2015, a cyclonic storm named as Komen impacted much of Myanmar with torrential rains, causing widespread flooding. The Displacement Tracking Matrix was rolled out around Rakhine state starting on 9 Aug 2015. Data covered in this report is from 11 Aug to 14 Aug 2015. 80% of people moved during the floods but all returned within a week or more.
