Floods continue to disrupt lives and communities worldwide, and the real impact often extends far beyond immediate damage. According to FEMIā¢’s 2020 data, the numbers reveal a striking reality: over 18 million people were displaced due to floods, underscoring the urgency for investments in resilience.
Key highlights from 2020:
āŖ Displacement Figures: China and India experienced over 6 million displaced combined, while the Philippines saw 2 million and the U.S. recorded 1 million displaced.
āŖ Regional Vulnerability: Low FEMI scores across parts of Asia and Africa indicate where immediate resilience efforts are most needed.
āŖ Global Perspective: With a Global FEMI Score of 48.47, we see a world that must act proactively to mitigate future flood risks.
š Chart Explanation: The bar chart below highlights the top 20 countries by population displaced due to flood risk in 2020, alongside their FEMIā¢ Scores (shown in red). The FEMI Score ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 indicates the most vulnerability and 100 represents full resilience. This visual underscores the urgency for targeted resilience strategies, particularly in nations with significant displacement and lower scores.
