Vanuatu govt says Cyclone Oma response imminent

The Daily Post newspaper reported the assurance was made by the Director of the National Disaster Management Office, Abraham Nasak.

Mr Nasak said his office has received initial reports of the damage inflicted by the cyclone.

The heavy rain, strong wind and storm surges uprooted trees, destroyed homes and food crops in Torba and Sanma Province.

Approximately 76 households on the west coast of Santo have lost their food gardens to flooding and are likely to face food shortages.
