星期六（3月14日）雖然不用上班，但當從新聞報道中知道瓦努阿圖發生嚴重風災，已知道接下來的一星期會有大量的工作需要處理，包括各種的新聞稿、籌款網頁和Facebook Post等等。
星期一（3月16日）回到辦公室，果然從各地樂施會收到大量的資訊，特別是澳洲樂施會，由於本身有人員派駐瓦努阿圖，所以可以獲得第一時間的資訊。接下來幾天，我工作的整個部門都進入戰鬥狀態，要把來自四方八面的消息整理和發佈，並呼籲大眾捐款支持瓦努阿圖的救災工作。
風災首數天，因為通訊設施所限，加上風災對設施的破壞，前線工作人員很多時都未能掌握確實的傷亡人數，我一直打從心底希望這個數字不要一直攀升就好。樂施會的人員已連同物資趕赴現場，但由於當地交通設施嚴重破壞，情況是需要數天至一星期時間才能送到南部偏遠小島。

By Oxfam Communications Coordinator Amy Christian, in Vanuatu
Yesterday I arrived in Vanuatu to join the Oxfam emergency response team as they respond to the aftermath of Cyclone Pam.As our plane descended into Port Vila, I caught glimpses of the islands that make up Vanuatu between perfectly formed clouds, which looked still, as if in a painting — the blue of the ocean a calm turquoise canvas beneath. The islands themselves looked ravaged, trees torn and broken and houses left without roofs or walls. I found myself imagining how different this view would have been just a week before, on the eve of the biggest cyclone to ever hit the Pacific.
