Vanuatu has been affected by destructive winds and heavy rains, brought by two category 4 cyclones and followed by a 6.6 M earthquake between 1- 4 of March. The disasters have caused widespread damage and destruction. Port Vila and Tanna Island are the most affected areas. The cost of damages is estimated at USD 50 000 000. 30,000 households are affected, and 5,000 people are still displaced in evacuation centres. 15 days after the disasters, food security, lack of drinkable water, and water-borne disease risks are a growing common concern among stakeholders.
