Delays in disaster response in 🇻🇺 occur when there is no trust in the local needs assessment, local response plan and local leadership. We need to change this. #LocalResponse #LocalLeadership @global_respond @NicBrent_UKHC @RRegenvanu @AusHCVanuatu @NicciSimmondsNZ

On the island of Maewo, villagers from Asunvari requested fresh drinking water as soon as the @global_respond and HELPR-1 team arrived ashore. Because of its capability to produce 5,000L/day of fresh water from its onboard desalination plant, we were able to assist immediately.
