IDU: Internal Displacement Updates for Conflict and Disaster Events

No displacement events were recorded for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the last 180 days. The Internal Displacement Updates (IDU) dataset, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), offers provisional daily data on new internal displacements caused by conflicts and disasters over a rolling 180-day period. It represents initial assessments aggregated from various sources, with validated estimates later published in the annual Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD).

Use Cases

• Monitor daily new displacement flows based on the 180-day rolling event window mentioned in the description.
• Analyze provisional conflict and disaster displacement trends based on the event data nature.
• Compare initial IDU assessments with finalized GIDD stock and flow estimates based on the described data pipeline.
• Track displacement alerts for specific geographic areas based on the event-based data structure.

Strengths

• Updated daily, providing a near-real-time view of new displacements.
• Covers a defined 180-day rolling window for recent events.
• Sourced from a recognized authority, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO for open use.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Data is provisional and subject to revision, with final estimates in a separate database.
• Row count and column definitions are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
