瓦努阿图北方的班克斯群岛易受热带气旋袭击。虽然在欧洲人接触之前，繁荣的人口似乎已经应对了这些事件，但自那时以来，一个较小的人口在热带气旋事件后一直在努力维持其粮食安全。一些社会、经济、政治和资源管理方面的变化产生了一系列灾害先决条件，导致在热带气旋之后依赖外部粮食救济。这些变化大多发生在灾害之间的年份，与热带气旋灾害无关。然而，一系列变化，即提供粮食救济本身，为其他变化的发生提供了催化剂。
The Banks Islands in northern Vanuatu are prone to tropical cyclones. While a thriving population appears to have coped with these events prior to European contact, since then a smaller population has struggled to maintain its food security following tropical cyclone events. A number of social, economic, political and resource management changes have led to a set of disaster pre-conditions which result in dependence on external food relief following tropical cyclones. Most of these changes have taken place in the intervening years between disasters and have occurred independent of the tropical cyclone hazard. However, one set of changes, the provision of food relief itself, has provided the catalyst for the other changes to occur.
