They have crops to last for only one to two weeks.
2. Ambae has a crater lake. There is a risk that the volcano could further erupt and cause flooding in the valleys. The Government may need to evacuate about 5,000 people in the high-risk area. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) is working on an evacuation plan.
