UNOCHA situation update 8 : TC Ului

UNOCHA situation report 8 on TC Ului, 26th March 2010. The preliminary report from the assessment team in Rennell/Bellona suggests that the village of Abatai, Kangawa, Matamoana and Lavangu have escaped the major damage, and the main impact was to their food gardens (70% to 90%). The NEOC (national emergency operation centre) had verified the damage caused in the village of Longulava and Reavu in Guadalcanal Province. However the extent and the nature of the impact/damages need to be confirmed by the assessment team which will be deployed today

An Aerial assessment of Rennell/Bellona Islands was conducted on 20th March which by representatives from Police, Solomon Islands Red Cross Society, the NDMO and PPF (RAMSI’s Participating Police Force) adviser. It was difficult to see the extent of the damages from the air and it seemed it was not as bad as expected, it indicated that the villages which were reportedly or considered to have damaged were evidently impacted (mainly food gardens). The most damages were caused to the food gardens, especially to the banana trees. AusAID has provided 170,000 Solomon dollars to support the mobilization of assessment teams to Rennell/Bellona and Makira and the provision of immediate relief supplies

Situation report no. 7. Monday 22nd March 2010 [TC Ului]. National Disaster Council

Solomon Islands NDC situation report 7 on TC Ului. Issued by the NDMO at 3:00 pm. All Tropical Cyclone Watch Advisories for Rennell/Bellona Province are now cancelled. The aerial survey was conducted on 20th March by representatives from Police, Solomon Islands Red Cross Society, the NDMO and (RAMSI’s Participating Police Force) adviser. Although it was difficult to see the extent of the damages from the air and it seemed it was not as bad as expected, it indicates that the villages which were reportedly or considered to have damaged were evidently impacted mainly food gardens. But, the extent of the damage is still need to be confirmed by the rapid assessment teams. The Assessment teams are to be out in the field and get better information as it will take several days to have better and clear detail information and communication has always been a problem

Solomon Islands : tropical cyclone Ului ; information bulletin no 1 ; GLIDE no. TC - 2010 - 000060 - SLB ; 19 March 2010. IFRC Information bulletin

IFRC Information bulletin 1 on Tropical cyclone Ului in Solomon Islands. 19/03/2010. Tropical cyclone Ului formed west of Santo Island in Vanuatu around 1200hrs (UTC) on 12 March 2010. The cyclone gained strength as it moved on a westerly course toward the Solomon Islands. By 15 March it had intensified to a "category four" cyclone as it moved through the Solomon Islands bringing with it storm force winds and heavy rains causing flooding and damage to housing in six provinces including Isabel, Malaita, Guadalcanal, Temotu, Makira and Uluawa, and Rennel and Bellona Provinces. The extent of damage caused by sea surges, storm force winds and heavy rains remains unclear as communications with the provinces remain unreliable, and focal points in the provinces are unable to move freely due to bad weather. Many of the provinces continue to be cut off by sea and communications are intermittent
