Abstract (English):	The article highlights the importance of having accurate and timely data for disaster risk reduction and humanitarian programs. However, there is a data deficiency in the context of urban displacement due to factors such as geofencing and definitions of locations and population categories. Operational decisions related to geofencing and definitions of displacement locations are the aspects that most influence data collection results. In urban disaster contexts, five main types of displacement locations are highlighted. Resource limitations and priorities can lead to data not being collected on people leaving the affected area. Improving data collection would allow for a better understanding of the needs of displaced people and host families, as well as a more effective response to their needs. Fiji's Relocation Guidelines provide guidance to other states facing similar challenges in the process of relocating climate-affected communities. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish):	El artículo destaca la importancia de contar con datos precisos y oportunos para la reducción del riesgo de desastres y los programas humanitarios. Sin embargo, existe una deficiencia de datos en el contexto del desplazamiento urbano debido a factores como la geocerca y las definiciones de localizaciones y categorías de población. Las decisiones operacionales relacionadas con la geocerca y las definiciones de los lugares de desplazamiento son los aspectos que más influyen en los resultados de la recopilación de datos. En contextos de desastres urbanos, se destacan cinco tipos principales de localización de los desplazamientos. La limitación de recursos y prioridades puede llevar a que no se recopilen datos sobre las personas que abandonan la zona afectada. Mejorar la recopilación de datos permitiría una mejor comprensión de las necesidades de las personas desplazadas y de las familias de acogida, así como una respuesta más efectiva a sus necesidades. Las Directrices de Reubicación de Fiyi ofrecen orientación a otros Estados que se enfrentan a retos similares en el proceso de reubicación de comunidades afectadas por el clima.
