Context
IOM Vanuatu has been a key player in providing
emergency relief supplies (emergency kits, shelter tool-kits, family kits) and
technical support to the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) as part of the Tropical
Cyclone Pam humanitarian response. More recently, IOM scaled up its operations
in Vanuatu in support of the National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) and in
line with planning and priority responses established by the GoV in the
National Recovery and Economic Strengthening Program Plan “Strengthening
Ni-Vanuatu Resilience”. In this framework, IOM is assisting the GoV and
National Emergency Operation Centre (NEOC) by strengthening processes that
entail the whole cycle of evacuation in natural disasters, including
preparedness and planning.
