According to IDMC's Internal Displacement Updates, between 1 and 31 July 2026 France recorded 238,081 disaster-driven internal displacements across 7 events. The alert fired because this figure exceeds the rule's fixed threshold of 50,000 displacements in a calendar month, since the country's monthly record held 2 months of history, below the 6 months required for a comparison against its own past figures. The largest figure, 220,000 displacements, relates to the wildfire in Gironde, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, reported by the Regional Government with a displacement date of 27 July 2026. The next largest, 12,000 displacements, relates to the wildfire in Pyrénées-Orientales reported by the Ministry of Interior.
