Information in Natural Disasters – Solomon Islands assesses current information materials on natural disasters in Solomon Islands, identifies the key actors in disseminating information during a disaster and provides recommendations for future disaster content and communications. Communities in Kuma, Weathercoast and Nea, Temotu were asked what they know already about natural disasters, what they need to know and how they wanted to recieve information in a 2 day program of focus groups with men, women and youth. This study was commissioned on behalf of the Solomon Islands National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) by the Solomon Islands Media Assistance Scheme (SOLMAS) with support from ABC International Development and funded by the Australian Government.

This report was authored by Anouk Ride, Melinda Kii, George West Dapelebo and Dallas Hila, with valuable consultations and technical input provided by Sipuru Rove, Jeremy Miller, Vipul Khosla and Angela Davis.

Most recently, I produced a series of factsheets, folders, brochure and a short film were made for the Oceanic Fisheries Management Project, a UNDP-GEF funded project coordinated by the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency and Secretariat of the Pacific Community and also involving conservation organisations WWF and IUCN (see http://www.ffa.int/gef for project details and downloads).

These were featured at World Biodiversity Day 2010 and continued to be used as resources for briefings, education and general awareness.
