Disaster Overview : In February 2016, Papua New Guinea was hit by severe floods and landslides as a result of relentless heavy rains. The natural disaster led to the deaths of at least six people, with up to 200 homes destroyed and critical infrastructure like bridges swept away in the provinces of Oro and West New Britain. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been actively involved in disaster relief efforts, especially in the Highlands region, where one of the major concerns is food security due to the destruction of vital crops.
