PORT VILA, VANUATU\u2014 The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA)\u00a0is playing a key role in securing the health and sanitation in 10 of the 20 evacuation centers in Port Vila. ADRA has made plumbed water available at nine of the 10 evacuation centers with the last evacuation center\u2019s tank being refilled by the fire service.<\/p>\n
The number of latrines in the evacuation centers is still inadequate, with as many as 300 people using one toilet. ADRA is continuing to provide hygiene information sessions in 10 evacuation centers. Field staff has already distributed hygiene supplies to families in the centers, including soap and other prepositioned materials.<\/p>\n
\u201cEnsuring good hygiene is critical following a disaster like this,\u201d said Mark le Roux, ADRA Vanuatu Country Director. \u201cDisease can spread quickly and with health services already stretched the situation can turn deadly.\u201d<\/p>\n
ADRA\u2019s plan of action includes installing additional latrines, building temporary bathing facilities, and continuing hygiene messaging daily.<\/p>\n
ADRA has also deployed a team of volunteers to help with cleanup efforts in the urban areas of Port Vila. Although the power outage continues, the weather has remained clear, allowing residents to start cleaning up and gathering what is left of their homes.<\/p>\n
Logistical issues in response to the Cyclone Pam\u2019s devastation are hampering the ability to respond on other islands.<\/p>\n
\u201cCommunication between the islands is still down,\u201d reported le Roux. \u201cWe still don\u2019t have a good picture of the cyclone\u2019s impact on many of the islands.\u201d<\/p>\n
