Tropical Cyclone Maila in Solomon Islands

Tropical Cyclone Maila impacted the Solomon Islands, bringing periods of heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and rough seas across affected provinces. The system caused flooding in low-lying and coastal areas, along with localised landslides and disruption to transport, utilities, and communications.

Some communities experienced damage to homes, crops, and infrastructure, and temporary displacement of residents was reported in the hardest-hit areas. Authorities monitored the situation closely and undertook response activities to support affected communities and assess impacts as conditions improved.
