Assistance for preparation and management of emergencies

$750k package to help Samoa prepare for and manage emergencies

The project is delivered by the Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management (MCDEM).

“There’s a longstanding relationship between MCDEM and Samoa’s National Disaster Management Office (NDMO). The $750,000 package announced tonight will support this ongoing partnership and further strengthen Samoa’s disaster risk management programme,” says Ms Kaye.

Ms Kaye made the announcement at a reception in Apia last night, attended by guests including Ministers, officials, business leaders and representatives of humanitarian assistance agencies.
