[HOT] Vanuata Islands, Pam Cyclone

[Rob James]

There are several Canadians (mostly MDs, families) with recent field
experience on Tanna - very very hard hit. I am starting to document key
strategic assets (landing sites for rotary wing) hospital, etc. but also
trying to document location of small indigenous "tribes" on island. Hope to
have that working tomorrow Vancouver time.
