Disaster assessment

More assessments needed in cyclone stricken Vanuatu

This was the outcome of the latest disaster co-ordination meeting between the government and other stake-holders this afternoon in the capital Port Vila.

Islands in the northern and central parts of the country bore the brunt of Cyclone Hola, which got up to category three strength before leaving Vanuatu, with initial assessments showing widespread damage to infrastructure, houses and crops.
