The category 2 cyclone swept through at the weekend causing widespread flooding and damage to infrastructure and crops mainly on Efate, with some people having to evacuate.
The department's planning and research officer, Peter Korisa, said while most people had now returned back to their homes to clean up, his team was working on recovery plans.
"So far our team is trying to focus on working with provincial authorities just to do some assessments and our focus is now more on assessment particularly more so the sanitation, infrastructure, and education."
