Between 10 and 15 September 2024, the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), the Kano State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), and the Nigerian Red Cross Society (NRCS), identified 68 locations in Kano State that were impacted by floods or received internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to the flooding.
In the 20 local government areas (LGAs) of Kano State that were assessed, DTM identified 75,095 individuals in 16,422 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 18,643 displaced individuals.
Twenty per cent (20%) of the affected houses are habitable but need repair, 21 per cent are partially damaged but need repairs, and 29 per cent are destroyed. In 88 per cent of the locations assessed, crop/vegetable farming was among the primary sources of income.
