On this day we remember Cat 5 TC Winston which tore through Fiji exactly 8 years ago as the strongest cyclone in Fiji and the Southern Hemisphere. Tragically, 44 lives were lost, 133k people made homeless, 62% of Fiji’s population impacted and F$2billion in damages.
A very good Asia Pacific disaster report launched this week by @UNESCAP at the 8th Disaster Committee Meeting. Includes what's required in the region for climate adaptation
