Cyclone Winston and the issues facing Fiji one week on
29th February 2016
The aftermath of a tropical storm raises a host of geographical questions. The impact of a natural hazard can be as much to do with the efficiency of disaster-planning and decision-making before and after the event, as the physical forces that generate the hazard in the first place. This is what Fiji is facing now, a week after its worst cyclone event in its history.
