Pacific Vigil: Risk Intelligence & Early Warning Platform
Pacific Vigil helps Pacific governments, donors, responders, and infrastructure partners monitor hazards, disruptions, and climate risks through one trusted operating picture.
Five Intelligence Modules
From Risk to Reality
Translating climate and disaster signals into visible community impacts, local priorities, and decision-relevant context.
Saltwater Intrusion & Coastal Exposure
Sea-level rise + king tide events elevating baseline saline intrusion into freshwater lenses across low-lying atolls.
Household freshwater contaminated. Root crops failing. Relocations of outer-island families increasing.
Freshwater security underpins health, food, and livelihood systems. Donor programming and WASH investment decisions depend on accurate intrusion mapping.
Extreme Rainfall & Flood Disruption
Intensifying La Niña cycles amplifying multi-day rainfall events. Flash flooding increasingly breaching village-level drainage thresholds.
Road networks severed. Schools and health clinics inundated. Agricultural losses compounding food insecurity.
Infrastructure and health system resilience directly tied to rainfall intensity trends. Critical signal for infrastructure investment planning and DRR programming.
Cyclone Exposure & Cascading Impacts
Category 4–5 cyclone tracks shifting southward. Post-event recovery windows shortening as back-to-back events increase.
Housing stock destroyed. Fuel and supply chains severed for weeks. Medical and food supply emergencies in outer islands.
Emergency response logistics, insurance frameworks, and reconstruction finance must account for intensified cyclone climatology. Operational planning gap for Pacific NDMOs.
Drought & Food System Stress
El Niño-driven dry spells reducing crop yields and depleting rainwater harvesting systems across Polynesia and Micronesia.
Subsistence farming collapsed in affected zones. Children and elderly facing acute nutrition risk. Water trucking costs escalating.
Food and water security compounding for most vulnerable populations. Early warning signals enable pre-positioning of humanitarian response and donor coordination.
Frontline Climate Intelligence
Field-based climate risk consultations in Solomon Islands, facilitated by ViPACT in partnership with SPREP and the Solomon Islands Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology.
Community-led climate risk mapping
Community consultations in Solomon Islands identifying hazard exposure, local vulnerabilities, and priority climate risks.
Lived evidence of climate impacts
Documented community impacts including king tides, saltwater intrusion, coastal erosion, and household disruption.
Field validation and local consultation
Participatory consultation validating local risk signals, lived impacts, and adaptation priorities.
Community-defined hazard and impact pathways
Locally identified hazard trends, cascading impacts, and climate-related disruption pathways.
Community-defined hazard and impact pathways
