The next report will be issued on or around 31/03/2022.

Highlights

• In collaboration with Australia’s Flinders University, the ETC has developed a threeweek Disaster-Emergency Preparedness and Response (D-EPR) training module for ICT professionals in the Pacific that will be delivered in February 2022.

• The ETC achieved a 100 percent overall user satisfaction rating in its annual survey from respondents who engaged with ETC projects in 2021,including development of the D-EPR course, the provision of emergency response equipment during the response to COVID-19 in Fiji, and the support provided by the ETC during the emergency response to Cyclone Yasa.

• On 13 December, the ETC brought together 10 national and regional counterparts in an end-ofyear Pacific regional workshop to provide ICT and disaster professionals with opportunities to strengthen and plan further coordination efforts moving into 2022.
