  abstract = {{C}ategory 5 tropical cyclone {P}am hit {V}anuatu in {M}arch 2015, affecting thousands of people. {T}hree months after the event, this study compared the responses from both external aid agencies and the disaster-affected communities to identify convergences, duplications and gaps. {T}he research relies on 13 interviews with aid agencies and eight focus group discussions with participatory activities at local community level. {W}hile aid agencies actively responded during and after {P}am, local people too responded to the event with strategies based on livelihoods diversification, food security techniques, traditional knowledge and cooperation intra- and inter-communities. {T}he study emphasizes the need for an integrative approach where disaster responses from the top-down integrate that from the bottom-up. {A}id agencies should build on the livelihood mechanisms developed at local level so responses and recovery can be more effective, socioculturally acceptable and may lead to sustainable outcomes of disaster risk reduction including climate change adaptation.},
