As one of the world’s most disaster-prone nations, Vanuatu faces escalating risks from cyclones, sea-level rise, and seismic activity.

In response to the 17 December 2024 earthquake, the Vanuatu Klaemet Infomesen blong redy, adapt mo protekt (VanKIRAP) project has delivered vital technological support to enhance the Vanuatu Meteorology and Geohazards Department’s (VMGD) capacity to manage seismic data, ensuring timely alerts and lifesaving warnings for communities across the nation.
