Over 9,000 evacuees from Ambae have been registered by NDMO through the National Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) on Maewo and Santo Island. Displaced persons are living in a variety of different out-of-camp settlement types, including with host families, informal settlements, and potentially in formal, planned settlements. These displacement sites have differing levels of services, representation, and connection to wider community. Due to the dispersed nature of the displacement and the settlements, registration and population tracking as well as monitoring needs and services presents a challenge for site management actors. In addition, uncertainty regarding the length of displacement and breakdown of traditional information pathways has necessitated CCCM partners to encourage further regular, two-way communication and engagement of the affected population.
