On 12 January 2010, Haiti was severely hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that left an estimated 1.2 million displaced, principally within the capital city of Port-au-Prince, as well as the surrounding region. The level of damage caused to public and private infrastructure has led to the establishment of hundreds of spontaneous displacement sites. IOM, as lead agency of the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster, has launched large scale relief operations in support of the CCCM cluster. In support of the cluster and its initiatives, a number of systems and tools have been developed, most notably the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix).
