  • 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.

  • 3. Quaternary Vertical Tectonics of the Central New Hebrides Island Arc1
    Collot, J.-Y., Greene, H. G., Stokking, L. B., et al., 1992 Proceedings of the Ocean Drilling Program, Initial Reports, Vol. 134 3. QUATERNARY VERTICAL TECTONICS OF THE CENTRAL NEW HEBRIDES ISLAND ARC1 Frederick W. Taylor2 ABSTRACT Hundreds of meters of uplift of both the frontal arc and backarc characterize the late Quaternary vertical tectonic history of the central New Hebrides Island Arc. This vertical deformation is directly related to large, shallow earthquakes on the interplate thrust zone postulated on the basis of coral emergence data. This chapter presents evidence from the best documented and illustrated examples of uplifted coral reefs from the central New Hebrides Island Arc for the pattern and rates of vertical deformation caused by subduction of the d'Entrecasteaux Zone and the West Torres Massif over the past few 100 k.y. The pattern of vertical movement based on upper Quaternary coral reef terraces documents that the islands of Espiritu Santo, Malakula, Pentecost, and Maewo have risen hundreds of meters during the late Quaternary. This history suggests that the present pattern and rates of vertical deformation should be extrapolated back to at least 1 Ma, which would indicate that the total amount of structural and morphological modification of the arc during the present phase of deformation is more significant than previously assumed. The morphology of the central New Hebrides Island Arc may have resembled a more typical arc-trench area only 1-2 Ma. If the late Quaternary patterns and rates of vertical deformation have affected the central New Hebrides Island Arc since 1-2 Ma, then virtually all of the anomalous morphology that characterizes the central New Hebrides Island Arc can be attributed to the subduction of the d'Entrecasteaux Zone and the West Torres Massif.

SITUATION ANALYSIS Description of the disaster The Malampa province in the archipelago of Vanuatu has a volcanic island Ambrym consists of a population of approximately 7,286 people according to the census of 2016. The volcanic major unrest continued since January 2018 which caused the raise of alert level 3 by 15 December 2018 with minor eruption confirmed by the seismic data analysis of 16 – 17 December 2018. An ongoing emission of ash or/and gas column from eruptive vents from Benbow and Marum craters with earthquake in Southern part of Ambrym activated the Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) in Malampa province. Vanuatu Metrology & Geo-hazard Department (VMGD) issued a bulletin No. 11 on 18 December 2018 regarding the expected earthquakes in Ambrym and neighboring islands.

  • C. Household Living (Dwelling) Conditions
    C. HOUSEHOLD LIVING (DWELLING) CONDITIONS 53 Living conditions vary considerably across Vanuatu, based in part on access to infrastructure and utilities. Those living outside urban areas and towns tend to go without electricity and often lack piped water and sewage systems. On most islands, almost all households mainly rely on wood or coconut shell for cooking – even in Port Vila almost half of households still cook using these sources. In the more urbanized parts of the country, houses have concrete or wood floors. Many households in Vanuatu live in basic conditions. For instance, even though traditional materials appear to be widely used for housing across the country, only 17% of households report living in dwellings with walls made of makeshift or improvised materials. A generally low access to electricity in Vanuatu is an area of concern. At the national level, only 38% of households report having electricity (from main grid, solar, or own generator) as a main source of lighting. Outside of the key urban areas (Port Vila and Luganville), less than 20% of households have access to the main grid, and even that number may be driven by those households that live close to provincial centers. In fact, in most ACs, less than 2% of the population has access to the main grid. Solar power has become an important source of electricity, especially in more remote locations. In some ACs, up to 50% of households report reliance on solar power as the main source of lighting. The national average for this source is 6.3% (as of 2009). Only about 2% of the population relies on small petrol generators, which could be a reflection of high costs of fuel.
