Last Mile Humanitarian Logistics on a Shoestring – Part 1

As category five Cyclone Pam hit Vanuatu on 13 March 2015, with sustained wind gusts of 250 kph, I watched the weather reports from the distant safety of our New Zealand living room, firstly in awe of the power of Mother Nature, and then in astonishment at the sheer scale of devastation across this small neighbouring country.

In the wake of Pam, 75,000 people of Vanuatu were left homeless, 95% of crops were destroyed, and the country was effectively flattened.

Thank You to Frank and Peggy Photography, for the use of their photos.
