The Bushfire and Natural Hazards CRC is saddened by the impact of Tropical Cyclone Pam on the population of Vanuatu. Our thoughts and best wishes are with this small country at this time. Although there is little that we as a research organisation can do directly to help, the least we can do is to encourage those in our networks to consider donating to one of the appeals established to help this poor nation. Donations can be made to the Australian Red Cross Tropical Cyclone Pam Appeal on their website.
