    Vanuatu: Tropical Cyclone Pam Situation Report No. 18 (as of 15 April 2015) This report is produced by the OCHA Regional Office for the Pacific (ROP) in collaboration with humanitarian partners and in close support of the Government of Vanuatu. It covers the period from 8 to 15 April 2015. The next report will be issued on or around 22 April 2015. Highlights • The second round of distributions has commenced, with the first round now completed in Tanna Island but still under way in some areas of Pentecost and Maewo. • The Government-led assessment results have raised a number of concerns; two thirds of surveyed communities had severe WASH needs requiring immediate attention. • Better communication with the affected communities has been a significant gap in the response. • Coinciding with the recent rains in Port Vila, an increasing number of individuals have been approaching the NDMO and requesting tarpaulins. • This time of the year is the peak transmission season for vector-borne diseases. Partners are distributing bed nets across the country. • Around 140 government workers and partners responding to the cyclone aftermath in Tanna Island now have access to high-speed internet. 188,000 110,000 60,000 47,000 19,500 30,000 People affected People in need of School-age children People received Children vaccinated in Tanna Island across the country clean drinking water affected WASH supplies against measles reached with food Source: Government of Vanuatu’s National Disaster Management Office supported by the Vanuatu Humanitarian Team Situation Overview The first round of food distributions is now complete on Tanna Island, where it reached 30,000 people, and is expected to be finalised in the few remaining areas by the end of the week.

  • Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland
    ReviewReview ofof PacificPacific Collections in Scottish Museums Appendix 3: Finding Aid for Vanuatu Material in Scotland Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific Artefacts and Archives relating to Vanuatu in public repositories in Scotland (United Kingdom) This finding aid has been compiled as a result of a preliminary survey of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums undertaken between April 2013 and December 2014. The review scoped the extent of Pacific collections in Scotland and identified key strengths and resources for future research. It also compiled Collections Level Descriptions for each regional island group and to highlight significance. The review was undertaken as a partnership across four museums in Scotland with significant or extensive collections from the Pacific region. These partners were National Museums Scotland (Edinburgh); Glasgow Museums; Perth Museum and Art Gallery and Aberdeen University Museums. Each of these museums hold collections from Vanuatu that have clear associations with islands or regions in Vanuatu and relate to well known Scottish missionaries. How to use this finding aid This finding aid provides an overview of Ni-Vanuatu artefact collections in Scotland and where possible related archives or photographs. The following list provides the names of key individuals through which the collections were acquired. The finding aid enables an initial overview of collections and resources and provides contact details for each of the major museums and libraries so that requests for further information can be made. The finding aid should also be used in conjunction with Excel spreadsheets and photographs of artefacts also deposited with the National Archives of Vanuatu.

  • 21. Volcanic Ash Layers from Sites 828, 830, 831, 832, and 833, New Hebrides Island Arc1
    Greene, H.G., Collot, J.-Y., Stokking, L.B., et al., 1994 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Scientific Results, Vol. 134 21. VOLCANIC ASH LAYERS FROM SITES 828, 830, 831, 832, AND 833, NEW HEBRIDES ISLAND ARC1 Peter E. Baker,2 Massimo Coltorti,3 Louis Briqueu,4 Toshiaki Hasenaka,5 and Eric Condliffe2 ABSTRACT Volcanic ash layers (1-3 cm thick) are abundant in the North Aoba Basin drill sites but less common at forearc sites. Ash deposited on the forearc slopes is liable to be redistributed as turbidites. In addition, the westerly upper winds also minimize ash-fall on the western (forearc) side of the New Hebrides Island Arc. Crystalline components in the ashes are primarily Plagioclase (An90-An44), clinopyroxene (Ca46Mg49Fe5-Ca43Mg33Fe24), olivine (Fo87-Fo62), and titanomagnetite. There are also small amounts of orthopyroxene, magnetite, apatite, and quartz. Glass shards occur in most of the ashes and range in composition from basalt to rhyolite. There is often a variety of glass compositions within a single ash layer. One explanation for this is that the rate of accumulation of ash from several different eruptions or eruptive phases exceeded the background sedimentation rate: there may also have been a certain amount of reworking. The high-K and low-K trends previously recognized in volcanic rocks from the New Hebrides Island Arc are clearly represented in the Leg 134 glasses. All of the ashes investigated here are thought to have originated from the Central Chain volcanoes. The source of the high-K group was probably the Central Basin volcanoes of Santa Maria, Aoba, and Ambrym.

  • 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.

Photo Dave Hunt-Pool/Getty Images • Vanuatu considered to be the world’s most vulnerable country to natural hazards. (Due to a combination of Vanuatu’s exposure to both geophysical and hydro-meteorological hazards, and its limited financial and technical capacity to prepare for and respond to the associated risks). • Vanuatu located in the Pacific Ring of Fire and at the centre of the Pacific cyclone belt. (This results in a relatively high frequency of volcanic eruptions, cyclones, earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, coastal and river flooding, and landslides). • Vanuatu suffers from extreme events associated with climate variability, including sea-level and temperature extremes and droughts • Consequently, Vanuatu expected to incur, on average, US$48 million per year in losses due to earthquakes and tropical cyclones. (In the next 50 years, Vanuatu has a 50% chance of experiencing a loss exceeding US$330 million, and a 10% chance of experiencing a loss exceeding US$540 million). Source: Vanuatu Post-Disaster Needs Assessment March 2015 Disaster Risk profile of Vanuatu Between March 12 & 14, TC Pam struck Vanuatu as an extremely destructive Category 5 cyclone. Estimated wind speeds of 250km/h and wind gusts peaking at 320km/h. At approximately 11 p.m. local time on Friday March 13th, the centre of the cyclone passed east of Efate Island, which is home to the capital city of Port Vila, and then continued southward, passing just west of Erromango Island and Tanna Island.

  • Kastom and Conservation: a Case Study of the Nguna-Pele Marine
    KASTOM AND CONSERVATION: A CASE STUDY OF THE NGUNA-PELE MARINE PROTECTED AREA NETWORK by DANYEL ADDES (Under the Direction of Peter Brosius) ABSTRACT In Vanuatu, the Melanesian archipelago formally known as New Hebrides, traditional marine tenure has become a center piece of marine conservation efforts. However, its influence is relatively slight in the area of the Nguna-Pele Marine Protected Area Network (NPMPA), a village-based conservation organization. The NPMPA has therefore adopted a westernized conservation model of Marine Protected Areas, or MPAs. As it pursues its conservation goals, the NPMPA must continually negotiate between the expectations, tools, and methodologies, of two powerful normative discourses: traditional knowledge and national indigenous identity, and marine biology and conservation ecology. This case study uses discourse analysis to investigate the interactions of western conservation discourse and traditional forms of knowledge surrounding the management of marine resources. Findings suggest that the adaptation of western conservation practice has resulted in conservation discourse that situates agency in documents and conservation tools more often than in human action.
