ʻO ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka ʻike a me nā lawelawe aniau i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia ma Vanuatu he mau pilikia logistical kūikawā.
Ua hana ʻo Andrew Harper ma ke ʻano he loea aniau Pākīpika ma NIWA no nā makahiki he 15 a ʻoi a ua ʻike ʻo ia i ka mea e manaʻo ai i ka wā e hana ana ma ia wahi.
ʻO nā hoʻolālā paha e komo pū me 17 mau ʻeke sima, 42 mika o nā paipu PVC, 80 mika o nā mea pā paʻa a me nā mea hana e hāʻawi ʻia i ka manawa no ke kūkulu ʻana, wahi āna. "Akā ua kiola ʻia kēlā hoʻolālā i ka wā i haʻalele ʻole ai kahi moku hoʻolako i ke awa ma muli o kahi makani ʻino e hala ana.
"Ua kaupalena pinepine ʻia ka halihali kūloko, no laila inā hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kahi kaʻa hoʻolimalima, maikaʻi kēlā. Ma nā mokupuni liʻiliʻi o Vanuatu, pono ke kālā no ka noho ʻana, nā mokulele a me ka meaʻai, a ʻaʻole kēia he pilikia a hiki i kou ʻike ʻana he nui nā wahi e hiki ai i nā malihini ke loaʻa ke kālā me ka hoʻi ʻole ʻana i ka ʻāina nui."
Me nā pilikia ʻōlelo, ʻo ka logistics āu e manaʻo ai he mea maʻamau ma Aotearoa, hiki ke like me kahi paʻakikī hiki ʻole ke lanakila ma ka Pākīpika.
Ua pono e kū i kēia mau pilikia a pau i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo NIWA e hoʻokomo i nā kikowaena aniau aunoa (AWS) ma Vanuatu ma mua o kēia makahiki. ʻO ke ʻano o kēia mau pilikia, ʻaʻole hiki ke hana ʻia ka hana me ka ʻike kūloko ʻole o ka hoa papahana, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Vanuatu Meteorology and Geological Hazards Department (VMGD).
Ua hana pū ʻo Andrew Harper a me kāna hoa hana ʻo Marty Flanagan me ʻeono mau loea VMGD a me kahi hui liʻiliʻi o nā kāne kūloko e hana ana i ka hana lima. Mālama ʻo Andrew lāua ʻo Marty i nā kikoʻī loea a hoʻomaʻamaʻa a aʻo aku i nā limahana VMGD i hiki iā lākou ke hana kūʻokoʻa i nā papahana e hiki mai ana.
Ua hoʻokomo mua ʻia ʻeono mau kikowaena, ua hoʻouna ʻia aku ʻekolu mau kikowaena a e hoʻokomo ʻia i Kepakemapa. Ua hoʻolālā ʻia ʻeono mau kikowaena hou aʻe, malia paha i ka makahiki aʻe.
Hiki i nā limahana loea NIWA ke hāʻawi i ke kākoʻo mau inā pono, akā ʻo ka manaʻo nui ma hope o kēia hana ma Vanuatu a me ka hapa nui o ka hana a NIWA ma ka Pākīpika, ʻo ia ka hiki ʻana i nā hui kūloko ma kēlā me kēia ʻāina ke mālama i kā lākou lako ponoʻī a kākoʻo i kā lākou hana ponoʻī.
E uhi ana ka pūnaewele AWS i kahi kokoke i 1,000 kilomita mai Aneityum ma ka hema a i Vanua Lava ma ka ʻākau.
Ua lako kēlā me kēia AWS me nā mea hana pololei e ana i ka wikiwiki a me ke kuhikuhi o ka makani, ka mahana o ka ea a me ka honua, ke kaomi ea, ka makū, ka ua a me ka hoʻomālamalama o ka lā. Hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea hana a pau ma ke ʻano i hoʻoponopono pono ʻia e like me nā kūlana a me nā kaʻina hana o ka World Meteorological Organization e hōʻoia i ke kūlike o ka hōʻike ʻana.
Hoʻouna ʻia nā ʻikepili mai kēia mau mea hana ma o ka Pūnaewele i kahi waihona ʻikepili kikowaena. Me he mea lā he maʻalahi kēia i ka wā mua, akā ʻo ke kī, ʻo ia ka hōʻoia ʻana ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea hana a pau i mea e hana pono ai a mau no nā makahiki he nui me nā koi mālama liʻiliʻi. Aia anei ka mea ʻike mahana he 1.2 mika ma luna o ka honua? Aia anei ka hohonu o ka mea ʻike makū lepo he 0.2 mika? Kuhikuhi pololei anei ka vane o ka wā i ka ʻākau? He waiwai nui ka ʻike o NIVA ma kēia wahi - ua maopopo nā mea a pau a pono e hana pono ʻia.
ʻO Vanuatu, e like me ka hapa nui o nā ʻāina ma ka ʻāina Pākīpika, he mea maʻalahi loa ia i nā pōʻino kūlohelohe e like me nā makani ʻino a me nā maloʻo.
Akā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sam Thapo, ka luna hoʻonohonoho papahana VMGD, hiki i ka ʻikepili ke hana i nā mea hou aku. "E hoʻomaikaʻi ia i ke ola o ka poʻe e noho ana ma ʻaneʻi ma nā ʻano he nui."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sam e kōkua ka ʻike i nā keʻena aupuni o Vanuatu e hoʻolālā maikaʻi i nā hana e pili ana i ke aniau. No ka laʻana, e hiki i ke Kuhina o ka Lawaiʻa a me ka Mahiʻai ke hoʻolālā no nā pono mālama wai mahalo i nā wānana kau pololei o ka mahana a me ka ua. E pōmaikaʻi ka ʻoihana mākaʻikaʻi mai ka hoʻomaopopo maikaʻi ʻana i nā ʻano o ke aniau a pehea e pili ai ʻo El Niño/La Niña i ka ʻāina.
ʻO nā hoʻomaikaʻi koʻikoʻi i ka ʻikepili ua a me ka mahana e ʻae i ke Keʻena Ola e hāʻawi i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo maikaʻi aʻe e pili ana i nā maʻi i lawe ʻia e nā makika. Hiki i ke Keʻena Ikehu ke loaʻa ka ʻike hou i ka hiki o ka mana o ka lā e pani i ka hilinaʻi ʻana o kekahi mau mokupuni i ka mana diesel.
Ua kākoʻo ʻia ka hana e ka Global Environment Facility a ua hoʻokō ʻia e ke Kuhina Hoʻololi Aniau o Vanuatu a me ka United Nations Development Program (UNDP) ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o ka papahana Building Resilience through Infrastructure Improvement. He kumukūʻai liʻiliʻi ia, akā me ka hiki ke loaʻa hou aku ka uku.
