Between 29 October and 3 November 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 66 locations in T araba State that were impacted by floods. Through a network of several key informants and field focal points, and in close coordination with other humanitarian partners and local authorities, the assessments were jointly conducted in these locations to provide insights to the government and humanitarian partners on the affected population s primary needs, vulnerabilities, and mobility intentions. In the eleven (11) local government areas (LGAs) of Taraba State that were assessed, the joint assessment team identified 34,781 individuals in 6,815 households that were affected by the floods. These individuals included both IDPs and residents who were impacted by the floods but remained in their affected communities. The affected population included 9,696 individuals and 64 returnees. Twenty-six per cent (26%) of the affected houses were habitable but needed repair, nineteen per cent of the houses were partially damaged but needed repairs, and twenty per cent of the houses were completely destroyed. In 80 per cent (80%) of the locations assessed, crop farming was among the main sources of income.
