FLOOD / DISPLACEMENT
What changed
First retained snapshot
No earlier verified snapshot is present in the recovered dataset. This record remains available as the historical baseline.
Situation
The GDACS Orange flood alert for China was updated with an estimated 399,045 displaced people and four deaths across the event period from 31 July to 13 September 2026. The previous retained GDACS snapshot listed 318,341 displaced people, making the latest displacement estimate 80,704 higher while the reported death toll remained unchanged. The most recent episode note concerned flooding in Hainan in mid-September. All totals remain provisional modelled or source-compiled observations pending reconciliation by national and local authorities. The NASA Worldview image is regional cloud context from 3 September, not a flood-depth map.
