Peak displacement, drivers and recurrence for each province, from the same approved records as the map.

How the displacement records were made, how to add one, and how to read the map and the dashboard.
Use your name and organisation. No password is needed. Then choose a task; it opens in the Contribute tab, apart from the approved records on the Map.
Choose the type of event. For heavy rainfall, coastal or landslide events, tick Caused by a tropical cyclone to pick the cyclone; otherwise pick a listed event or add a new one. For drought or sea-level rise, enter the year it started.
Choose it from the list, or click it on the map.
Enter the peak number of displaced persons. Tap each cause of displacement, or drag it onto the map. Type any other cause in the Other cause box.
Check the summary and send it. A validator reviews it before it shows on the map.
IDMC’s Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) counts internal displacements in Fiji for each disaster, but mostly for the whole country or for a division. After logging in, a contributor can choose Disaggregate IDMC GIDD data and split one of these figures across the tikina it affected, in the same way the workshop split the five baseline cyclones.
The list holds the 43 Fiji events in GIDD from 2008 to 2025, with IDMC’s figure, the divisions it names, its sources, and how much of it is already on the map. Cyclones are linked to their IBTrACS storm.
Add the tikina from the list or by clicking the map, where the IDMC area is shaded, and give each its share. A bar shows how much of IDMC’s figure is given out. Shares already on the map are filled in to start with. Causes can be added for each tikina.
Each tikina’s share is sent as a report on that event, with a note for the validator naming the IDMC event. Part of the figure can stay unassigned; going over IDMC’s figure needs a reason.
IDMC counts internal displacements (movements), so a person who moved twice can count twice, and figures in households are multiplied by IDMC’s household size. On this site the share of each tikina is shown as its peak displacement for the event, as for the baseline.
Displacement records from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) were used as the baseline for Fiji.
A workshop was organised together with national government agencies of Fiji during the 3rd progress workshop for RICD Fiji.
The IDMC values were disaggregated per disaster event: TC Ana and Bina, TC Yasa, TC Keni, TC Tino, TC Mona. Records were disaggregated to Tikina level based on participants institutional knowledge. These five events are the approved baseline.
Contributors can add a record for a tropical cyclone (picked from IBTrACS, or entered by hand if IBTrACS does not list it yet), for a slow onset hazard (drought or dry spell, sea-level rise) with the year it started, or for another event with its month and year. For each tikina they report the peak number of displaced persons (the most people displaced at one time in that event) and the causes of displacement. A validator approves, edits or rejects each entry. Approved entries appear on the map when the page loads.
The event-level displacement is shown by tikina (ADM3) boundary. Tikina without records are shown in white on the map. Cyclone tracks come from IBTrACS, and satellite pictures from Himawari.
Indicators. Peak displacement: darker means more people displaced at the peak of each event. Recurrence rate: the share of listed cyclones that displaced people in the tikina.
Events. The Map shows hazard types: each button adds up the events of one type: cyclones, floods, coastal, landslides, drought, sea-level rise or other. All hazards adds them all up. Single events are in the Dashboard.
Colours. Each view has its own colour scale, so compare shades within one view only.
Stickers. Stickers show the causes of displacement in three colour groups (see the legend). The Stamps switch shows or hides the workshop stickers on the workshop TCs and All events.
Hazard card. Lists the events of the chosen type. Open one in the Dashboard, or press a cyclone's Replay to play its track.
Hover a tikina for details. Click it for all events and the history of changes.
Province. Choose a province, or All provinces, at the top of the dashboard. Every number uses the approved records only.
People displaced. Each event records the peak: the most people displaced at one time. The dashboard adds these peaks over events, so a person displaced in two events counts twice.
Drivers. A driver counts once for each tikina that reports it, from the workshop stickers or an approved report. People displaced there is that tikina’s total over all events.
By event. Pick one event to see its tikina, the causes reported with it, IBTrACS facts for a cyclone and IDMC’s figure when there is one.
Recurrence rate. The share of listed cyclones that displaced people in a tikina, as on the map.

Climate-induced displacement in Fiji, recorded by tikina. Records come from IDMC, the national workshop and contributor reports, and each new record is checked by a validator before it is published.
