Since the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre for the first time started collating data on persons displaced by disasters in 2018, this set of population has been increasing. In 2019, 1.6 million people displaced by disasters were still in camps or places out of home.

At 2.678 million, India had the highest number of people displaced by disasters and extreme weather events in 2018
