IOM has been providing assistance to people affected by the earthquake that hit the Highlands region in February 2018. Provinces highly impacted by the disaster were the Southern Highlands and Hela.

Currently, 3 strategically placed FMPs remain, where DTM teams monitor incoming and outgoing flows of IDPs, identify and register drought-affected IDP families, and provide newly arriving families with IDP cards to facilitate their registration for humanitarian assistance. 17,099 IDPs were enumerated across all FMPs (inflow and outflow), including 1,313 arriving IDPs displaced by drought and 1,313 arriving IDPs displaced by conflict. 77% of the observed IDPs uintend to live in tents or in the open air. 

Following the earthquake that hit the Highlands region in February 2018, IOM deployed the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) to track human displacements, as well as identify humanitarian needs for those displaced from their community to care centres or displaced within their community. DTM data has been pivotal in guiding response interventions and planning for recovery among various actors, state and non-state. In past few months, IOM conducted follow up site assessments in 11 sites (Urila, Pongal, Kopa, Kware 1, Lil, Injua, Inte, Humbra, Tindom, Puinz and Hol) to assess the situation of those affected by the earthquake. This dashboard presents findings from the assessments.

Few exits were recorded this week, the lowest number since March 2018. The small number of exits and high number of entries may be due to the end of harvest season where people are returning to the camps and few people are leaving. Reasons for displacement into the IDP sites: insecurity (75%), joining the rest of the family (16%) to seek better services (5%) as well as to seek livelihood opportunities (4%).
