AHP in Tonga: responding to the Hunga Tonga – Hunga Ha’apai Volcano and Tsunami

On January 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai undersea volcano in Tonga erupted in a blast that was felt across the entire Pacific. The eruption released an over 20 km high cloud of ash and caused a Pacific-wide tsunami, resulting in casualties and damage as far away as North Asia and the Americas. Ashfall and seawater inundation caused significant hardship in affected communities. With the support of the Australian Government, the Australian Humanitarian Partnership was activated to respond, providing early recovery support, and longer term disaster risk reduction planning, including for schools. Under the lead of CARE Australia, partners in the consortium included Plan International Australia, CAN DO (Church Agencies Network Disaster Operations), Oxfam Australia, Save the Children Australia, Civil Society Forum of Tonga, Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga, Live & Learn Tonga, MORDI Tonga Trust, Talitha Project, Tonga Ministry of Education & Training, Tonga National Council of Churches and the Seventh Day Adventist Church of Tonga. This video shares some of the achievements of the response, which concluded in late 2024.
