Tropical Cyclone (TC) Pam made landfall in Vanuatu on 13 March 2015, causing severe damage to parts of the country. A post-disaster needs assessment (Esler 2015) completed less than a month after the cyclone highlighted the need for multi-hazard mapping of urban areas and for an action plan to identify safe areas for future growth. The report also emphasised the importance of having a sound scientific basis for predicting hazards and a reliable forecasting system. As part of a recovery and support package commissioned by the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) Bank Group, a team from the Geoscience, Energy and Maritime Division of the Pacific Community (SPC) undertook a baseline (topography and bathymetry) survey of Lenakel on the island of Tanna in December 2016.
