Abstract

Vanuatu Part 1 – Frida Sam

Over the past 3 years, a number of exciting communication and community engagement (CCE) activities have been happening in Vanuatu, the country that is #1 on the World Disaster Risk Index. Supported by CDAC and GTS, these activities have focused on strengthening the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) in organising and supporting its communication processes and developing a strong system for hearing and amplifying community voices in disasters. This first of a 2-part presentation will present the structure and process of this work, talking about the way in which Vanuatu has integrated disaster response and climate change, the way in which the project has worked with national, provincial and local government and communities. To illustrate this process, we will discuss our CCE experience in TC Harold, the category 5 cyclone that hit Vanuatu in 2020
