coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) information sharing efforts is providing this Decision Support Tool (DST) to enhance the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command’s (USINDOPACOM) planning capabilities for potential Foreign Humanitarian Assistance (FHA) in a COVID-19 environment. The process of developing the DST can be described as a successive layering of data until a snapshot of the current state of a country is presented for planning considerations in a complex environment. Each country’s 2-page DST presents information on COVID-19 cases and the affected nation’s response and planning, integrated with humanitarian community response and recent disaster response and risk affecting the country. All countries and U.S. territories in the USINDOPACOM AOR are included. Sections are updated daily.

  • Can Insurance Play a Role? Volcano Risk in Vanuatu: Can Insurance Play a Role? 2 Figure 1: Maps of Ambae Disaster Response, Phases 2 and 3
    MAY 2018 Mount Yasur Volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu Credit: Kate Humble/Red Vanuatu Volcano Risk in Vanuatu Can Insurance Play a Role? Overview of Volcanic Risk in Vanuatu Vanuatu has 83 islands, most of which are volcanic. There are total of 16 volcanoes in Vanuatu, of which six are active and ten are dormant. Since the 1600s, the major recorded eruptions resulted in substantial changes to Vanuatu’s land formation and migration. This includes fatalities and permanent resettlements either within the island or to other islands. The most recent volcanic eruptions on record since 1995 are: Manaro Voui on Ambae in 2017, 2005 and 1995; Yasur volcano on Tanna in 2016 and 1998, Benbow and Marum on Ambrym Island and Gaua in 2010 and 2009.

  • Fifth National Report
    FIFTH NATIONAL REPORT Executive Summary Vanuatu is an array of 83 volcanic islands that were formed during the Miocene Era. Her geographical location means that Vanuatu’s biological diversity has developed commonalities with Pacific Island Countries in close proximity such as that of Fiji and Solomon Islands. Vanuatu is fundamentally an agricultural society, where the majority of the population is involved in farm and fishing activities, either for subsistence, livelihood or cash income. The Overarching Productive Sector Policy 2012-2017 also identifies agriculture, forestry and fisheries as priority areas for economic development. In 2013, the Vanuatu National Statistics Office estimated the population of Vanuatu to be 264,000 people, with 75% of the population living in the rural areas. A large portion of the population still depends heavily on the Vanuatu productive sector therefore, the Government has a crucial role to play in defining a policy and institutional framework which both enables and encourages good participation and high performance from all sector stakeholders. The country’s development goals and priorities in the Priorities and Action Agenda (PAA) 2006-2015 identify the productive sector as an engine for investment, economic growth and employment. The sector’s contribution to the overall economic growth has required a strategic commitment by the Government. This is so the Government can support and facilitate an enabling environment for private sector operators. The need to protect and conserve the resources that are critical elements of the productive sector saw Vanuatu commit itself internationally to the Convention on Biological Diversity in the 1992. Since its ratification of this Convention, Vanuatu has made significant progress in ensuring it meets all of its obligations.

    Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Ensifera) from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu Sylvain HUGEL INCI, UPR 3212 CNRS, Université de Strasbourg, 21 rue René Descartes, F-67084 Strasbourg cedex (France) [email protected] Hugel S. 2009. — Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae (Insecta, Orthoptera, Ensifera) from Espiritu Santo, Vanuatu. Zoosystema 31 (3) : 525-576. ABSTRACT In the present article, the Gryllacrididae and Tettigoniidae fauna of Espiritu Santo Island (Vanuatu) is examined. We took advantage of the examination of the material collected during the SANTO 2006 biological survey to give descrip- tion complements, or to redescribe and/or redefi ne the concerned species and genera. We recorded 15 species in the island. Five are recorded for the fi rst time in Espiritu Santo and in the Vanuatu archipelago. A 16th species, Conocephalus laetus (Redtenbacher, 1891), recorded by Willemse (1925) has not been collected during the survey. Two new Gryllacrididae Amphibologryllacris butmasi n. sp. and Psilogryllacris tchancha n. sp. are described. Amphibologryllacris macrocera (Walker, 1869) is redescribed. Amphibologryllacris poultoni (Willemse, 1925) is synonymised under A. macrocera. Th e two related genera Amphibologryllacris and Nannogryllacris are redefi ned. All Xanthogryllacris punctipennis (Walker, 1869) subspecies recognized by Karny are re-established as subspecies under this genus: X. p. punctipennis (Walker, 1869); X. p. confl uens (Griffi ni, 1909); X. p. erimae (Griffi ni, 1909); X. p. fenestrigera (Griffi ni, 1913); X. p. gemmicula (Hebard, 1922); X. p. keyica Karny, 1925 (n. comb.); X. p. zatricia Karny, 1928. Epacra cyaneoterminata Karny, 1935 is transferred to Amphibologryllacris. Th e song and stridulatory fi le of most Tettigoniidae occurring in Espiritu Santo are described, most of them for the fi rst time: Salomona redtenbacheri Brongniart, 1897; Phaneroptera gracilis Burmeister, 1838; Furnia insularis (Stål, 1876); Ityocephala francoisi Bolívar, 1909; Conocephalus upoluensis (Karny, 1907); C.
