Philippines: 204,700 disaster-driven internal displacements between 2026-10-01 and 2026-10-31 (IDMC IDU)

Disaster-driven internal displacements per month (people)

According to IDMC's Internal Displacement Updates, between 1 and 31 October 2026 the Philippines recorded 204,700 disaster-driven internal displacements across 9 events. The alert was triggered because this monthly total exceeded the absolute threshold of 50,000 displacements. It remained below the 90th percentile of the country's own monthly record, which stands at 303,256 across 21 months. The events in the IDMC data, with figures reported by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the Disaster Response Operations Monitoring and Information Center (DROMIC), include tropical cyclones Kujira (Luis-Maymay), Gaenari (Neneng) and Krovanh (Pilandok), and Typhoon Champi (locally Rosal) in Region II.
