• Agenda IM update, sharing lessons learned, shelter lessons learned, partners update

• Key issues: Toolkits gaps and lessons learned

3.1 Feedback from Tanna Shelter Cluster meeting

Toolkits gap in West Tanna. • 2,877 HH received tarpaulins but no toolkits / Solar

lamps / Safe shelter awareness.• In Tanna, some agencies distributed 1 toolkit by HH or

1 toolkit for 3 HH• While 1 toolkit for each HH would be better,

agreement to distribute 1 toolkit for 3HH, BUT with explanation on sharing toolkit.

• Care international still have up to 200 toolkits.

• Need to review PAM emergency response to agree on standards for Vanuatu.


2. IM update – Tanna Distribution -10/06

Community cyclone shelters.

Tafea recent lessons learned workshop shows that:• People prefer to have cyclone shelters at

community level.• Need to reinforce CDC and PDC capacity building• There is not sufficient gov. building to work as cyclone

shelters. CDC need to identify community building for evacuation centers.

• Need to support community buildings as evacuation centers, as for traditional Nimaiten .


Field visits with Vanuatu Red Cross / French Red Cross and CRATERRE.• RTC / PDO / Ministry of education / Cultural center.• Visited Yakel community • Discussion about cyclone PAM impact and how

people cope with. A lot of people took refuge in traditional Nimaiten houses, with people gripping structure to help structure resistance.

3.2 Feedback from Tanna field visit

Field visits with Vanuatu Red Cross / French Red Cross and CRATERRE.• Discussion on emergency shelter response and items

use. Seems that 1 toolkit by HH is better due to need for nails and other items, and to cope with some tools as hammer which might broke.

• On top of standardize toolkit, need to look at adding axe, stone and oil to extend duration of tools.

• Idea to preposition community toolkits and tarpaulins to help immediate actions.


Field visits with Vanuatu Red Cross / French Red Cross and CRATERRE.• Tarpaulins are good but need to meet standards and

guidance to use them.• Shelter was the first need as people feared immediate

rain as experienced in cyclone.• It seems that people had 2 to 3 weeks food reserve,

with market quickly open. But food support critical after this period.

• Tarpaulins are used first for immediate shelter but could be re use after for kitchen, community places, etc…


1. 21,963 of the most affected households have been supported by relief agencies with tarpaulins.

3.3 Shelter key messages for CWC

2. Relief items are only provided to people whose houses have been damaged by Cyclone Pam. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your local or Provincial Government.

3. Shelter agencies work closely with National, Provincial, Municipal Governments, and traditional leaders to assess and fairly distribute shelter items to the most vulnerable people affected by Cyclone Pam.

4. All parties coordinate closely to identify gaps to equitably meet shelter needs.

3.3 Shelter key messages for CwC

5. Shelter agencies provide community awareness on safer shelter repairing and reconstruction

6. Government and agencies encourage wherever possible community resilience and shelter self-recovery,

7. It is important to identify traditional community cyclone houses which resisted well to cyclone PAM

8. To rebuilt your house it is important to learned from traditional knowledge for buildings which resisted well to cyclone PAM


9. To make your house more resilient to strong winds and cyclone, it is important to:

1) Deeply anchor your house to the ground with strong foundations,

2) Ensure that you have strong connections at all joints – the roof material to the roof timbers, the roof to the walls and the walls to the foundations. Strong connections can be made with hurricane straps, rope and vines.

3) Brace between the corners or junctions of your house creating triangles in the walls and roof.

4) Site your house safely by identifying hazards in your location and build as well as you can to resist them,

These 4 principles are at the core of community engagement on safe shelter awareness
