Guinea floods: GDACS separates September and October episodes
Flood
How the score is calculated
The score starts at 8. It adds points from recorded affected, deaths, displaced and casualty counts, plus terms found in the story title, event type or status. For each count, only its highest matching band is used.
- Affected people
- 1–999: +5 · 1,000–9,999: +12 · 10,000–99,999: +20 · 100,000–999,999: +28 · 1 million+: +35
- Deaths
- 1–9: +8 · 10–99: +14 · 100–999: +22 · 1,000+: +30
- Displaced people
- 1–9,999: +6 · 10,000–99,999: +12 · 100,000+: +18
- Casualties
- 100 or more: +8
- Story wording
- +10 for terms such as catastrophe, famine, war, conflict, major earthquake, mass casualty or critical. Otherwise, +5 for active, ongoing, emergency, outbreak, cyclone or hurricane.
Score bands: Watch 0–24 · Moderate 25–49 · High 50–74 · Critical 75–100. Scores are capped at 100. Missing or unparseable figures add no points.
This is a rule-based WorldsAid triage indicator, not an official or independently validated classification. It does not account for recency or local context, and it can understate events with incomplete reporting. Check the linked sources.

Situation
GDACS episode 5 currently reports no deaths, 30 people displaced and 30 houses damaged in Boukaria, Kankan Region, from 3 to 5 October 2026. The GDACS revision timeline separately records episode 1 at one death and 269 people displaced from 18 to 20 September. GDACS does not publish a combined 299-person total on the current event page, so WorldsAid retains the two episodes separately and does not add them.
A separate 20 September assessment attributed to Guinea's National Agency for the Management of Humanitarian Emergencies and Disasters (ANGUCH) recorded 269 people affected and temporarily rehoused after flooding in Coyah and Manéah, including one death and eight injured people. Coyah accounted for 218 people, the death and all eight injuries; Manéah accounted for 51 people and no reported death. The identical 269 values in the GDACS September episode and the local assessment may reflect different classifications or scopes. WorldsAid preserves both source series and does not treat them as interchangeable.

WorldsAid verification
A WorldsAid editor reviewed this record against 3 attributed sources, cleaned feed formatting and checked the crisis, place and reporting date. 8 human-impact figures were separated from the narrative and dated where the source allowed. Earlier observations remain in the evidence history instead of being silently overwritten.
