As a sub-component of the Mobility Tracking methodology in Nigeria, ETT utilizes direct observations and a broad network of key informants to capture the best estimates of the affected population per location, enabling targeted humanitarian response planning.

Le suivi des urgences vise à recueillir des informations sur les mouvements importants et soudains de populations, ainsi que sur les situations d'urgence sécuritaires et climatiques. Les informations sont collectées par le biais d'entretiens avec des informateurs clés et par observation directe. Ces informations ont été recueillies à la suite des inondations survenues le 3 juin2023 en Haïti, qui ont affecté les habitants de plusieurs communes et ont entraîné la création de neuf nouveaux sites. Ces évaluations ont été menées au près d'informateurs clés par téléphone. Une évaluation de la Zone Métropolitaine sur les déplacements suivra cet ETT.
