BACKGROUND
Vanuatu is under constant risk of hazardous events such as volcanic eruptions,
earthquakes, cyclones, tsunami, floods, storm surges, and fires; the associated economic
and social costs of disasters are always large. Communities, economic and social
development in Vanuatu will continue to be affected by such disasters unless disaster
risk reduction and disaster management (DRR&DM) are addressed by the whole
country at all levels and incorporated into Vanuatu’s Priorities and Action Agenda.

La Nina known El Nino is also an event that occurs when cooler than sea surface tempretures form along the equator in the pacific ocean, especially in eastern to central pacific.

Pamphlet on causes of earthquakes, impacts & preparedness.  Separate pamphlets in English, French and Bislama.

This Participants Manual is a reference resource to be used in the "Joj blong yumi i help long taem blong disasta" training program together with the Facilitators Manual. The training program teaches Christian Church leaders and groups in Vanuatu about disaster management.

Christian Churches in Vanuatu are a strong network that can help all people (not just their own members) before, during and after a disaster. The activities in the training program teach Church leaders to work with all in their community to prepare and respond to natural disasters.

This Manual is written for community leaders to facilitate Disaster Management training activities for Christian Church leaders and groups in Vanuatu. It outlines a series of Disaster Management learning activities and is supported by a ‘Participants Manual’ (in Bislama).

The lack of incentives for the effective participation of farmers in the fruits and vegetable sector leading to an increased reliance and dependency on imported forms of fruits and vegetable products in the domestic markets have been attributed to a number of factors of which inconsistency in supply and deficient quality in fruits and vegetable products are more prominent. These dual negative factors are the direct result of the lack of coordination and management of the sector.

It is with pleasure that I hereby submit to Parliament the 2017 Annual Report of the Ministry of Climate Change. A scholar once said, “a goal without a plan is just a wish.” The 2017 Annual Report for the Ministry of Climate Change is an important document in the planning process, allowing our Ministry to assess what has been done well and what activities remain to be implemented or strengthened in the coming years.
