Vanuatu is identified as one of the most disaster prone countries in the Pacific region. Comprising a national population of 250,000; the country regularly experience natural disasters like flooding, volcanic eruptions, landslides, cyclones, sea level rise, fire and disease outbreaks. The archipelago has 80 inhabited Islands with different degrees of susceptibility and capacity to respond to these natural disasters and impacts of climate-change. At present the country has no quantitative data to qualify the magnitude of susceptibility and capacity to respond to these natural disasters and effects of climate-change. The project selected 12 communities most susceptible to climate-change and natural disasters and quantifies their degree of susceptibility and capacity to respond to them. Component 3.1 of the project considers the capacity of 6 vulnerable communities to produce food under the following scenarios; flood, rising sea level, cyclone, volcanic eruption, drought (shortage of water) and tsunami
