Initial Damaged Assessments (IDA) is now being undertaken by the Honiara City Council and Guadalcanal Province whilst Detail Sectoral Assessments (DSA) is being conducted by the responsible Government Ministries through the relevant Sectors. The DSA is expected to complete within the next 14 days. Honiara City Council Tuvaruhu, Vara Creek, Koa Hill, No 3, Varamata, Fijian Quarter in Central Honiara, White River, Rove in West Honiara, and Henderson, Areas Affected Burns creek and some parts of Ranadi Industrial area in East Honiara remains as affected areas. Do your part, disaster is everybody’s business THE SOLOMON ISLANDS NATIONAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTRE [NEOC] Guadalcanal Provinces North, Northeast, Central and Southwest Guadalcanal remains as the impacted areas. Isabel Province New report of damages received Gululu near Kamaosi School. Malaita Province East Kwaio, East Malaita, East and West Are Are and Small Malaita are being affected. An estimated 87 villages, 787 households’ equivalent to 3,459 are affected. Sectors that are mostly affected are as follows; Infrastructure Damages Sectors Affected . Mataniko Bridges – Old Bailey washed away . Damage to the two lane highway bridge – under emergency repairs . Road conditions – very bad and will require emergency repairs as well . West Guadalcanal bridges – Cut off at Tanavasa bridge, Toba bridge, small Sasa and Ford crossing near San Isidro school. East Guadalcanal bridges – damages to Balasuna, Mberande and Mbokokimbo . Roads – conditions in some parts very poor and will need emergency repairs in order to allow access for relief and emergency responders . Damage to the Kongulai water source Livelihood Most of the food gardens and commercial crops has being washed away by floods or either buried by landslides. Ariel photograph of Guadalcanal indicates widespread damages to food gardens in the Central, North, North-East, North West and East Central constituencies. In Isabel Province, damage to Food gardens, Water source, infrastructures and houses are reported. Shelter Most of the people have their dwelling houses partially and or totally destroyed within Honiara city. Health Some of the health facilities on the impacted areas are affected, thus, the relatively high population affected versus the limited health services available and the very slow pace in cleaning up the inundated areas has put the outbreak of diseases in an alarming situation. Education School that were affected include Selwyn College, St. John, St, Joseph’s Tenaru and Ruavatu Secondary Schools. Do your part, disaster is everybody’s business THE SOLOMON ISLANDS NATIONAL EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTRE [NEOC] Marine Few vessels (MV Bikoi II, MV Invader, MV LC Dragon, LC Ocean Grace, etc) received some damage during the bad weather associated with the tropical low. Environment The impact to the environment is evident. The floods have inundated vast areas of land both along river banks and on flat plains. The excess water has impacted heavily on the vegetation, thus, the huge amount of debris and sediments carried downstream to the sea has potential to impact the eco-system. The wreaked vessels or vessels washed ashore posses’ human and environmental risks to the coastal eco-system. The reason is clear, if the vessels are not being cleared, the changes of having them impacted by another severe weather is high and if the fuel/oil compartments are damaged, there is a potential risk for oil spill. 3.

  • Indigenous People Development of SIRA Executive
    Social Assessment- Indigenous People Development of SIRA Executive: People who will be involved in training and capacity building and setting up of SIRA. Indigenous people of the Project Area Solomon Islands The Solomon Islands is one of the Melanesian countries in the Pacific Region. It is inhabited by more than 500,000 people. The population consists of the three major races, the Polynesians, Micronesian and the Melanesians. Inter-marriage to Europeans and Asians has accounts for certain percentage of the total population as well. There are 9 main Provinces scattered across the ocean close to Vanuatu and PNG and more than 1000 small Islands and Islets formed by volcanic activity thousands of years ago. The Islands are mainly volcanic and raised limestone Islands. The country is known for its pristine forest and marine resources as the centre of Biodiversity hot spots next to PNG and some South East Asian countries like Indonesia. However over-harvesting, unsustainable logging and prospecting (mining) are continuous and emerging threats to the biodiversity. Conservation and resource management programs are in placed to ease some of the negative impacts impose by these threats. Methods used by communities are integrating traditional knowledge and modern science to protect the resources. Most of these programs however can be found in most remote areas of the country, which is very challenging. Despite the challenges, efforts have been made in encouraging networking and partnership to manage the challenges and utilize the potentials available. Thus Solomon Islands Ranger Association (SIRA) was established and intended to play the role of supporting the local village rangers that employed by Community- based Organization (CBOs).

The extracutaneous ringed forceps is a type of clamp used to fix the vas deferens (Fig. 1).For the sake of clarity, the term ringed clamp will be used throughout this manual. Throughout the operation, the surgeon uses the ringed tip of this instrument to encircle and to grasp the vas, without injuring the skin. The clamp grasps the vas both extracutaneously05 60 R1 3/6/03 11:07 PM Page 8 and directly. This instrument comes in three ring sizes: 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, and 4.0 mm. These different diameters accommodate different thicknesses of vasa and scrotal skin. DR LI. SHUNQUIANG FIGURE• Ringed clamp 1. Ringed clamp FIGURE• Dissecng 2.

The dissecting forceps (Fig. 2) is similar to a curved mosquito hemostat, except that the tips are sharply pointed. It is used to puncture the scrotal skin, EngenderHealth 7 to spread the tissues, to dissect the sheath, and to deliver the vas deferens. The dissecting forceps can also be used to grasp the vas while a ligature or cautery is applied for occlusion. Because the instrument is a modified hemostat, it can be used to control bleeding. Throughout this manual, the term dissecting forceps will be used to refer to this instrument.
