The Minister of Climate Change, Ham Lini, requested Shedrack Welegtabit return to his former position on a temporary basis.
Mr Lini said NDMO staff will be able to capitalise on Mr Welegtabit extensive expertise to better coordinate the distribution of relief assistance for the relocation of the people of Ambae to Maewo island.
The government has allocated 200 hectares of land on Maewo which can support up to 400 families moving away from Ambae's erupting volcano.
