AFAP manages the Australian-Pacific Centre for Emergency and Disaster Information (APCEDI) to provide news on natural disaster events in the Asia-Pacific region and to help with rapid disaster response assessment. This was originally a communications network that was activated during a disaster to disseminate information to our Asia-Pacific NGO offices. Now APCEDI has a much wider application across the Asia-Pacific Region.

APCEDI ALERT 04F #6, 2004: Tropical Storm Judy Exits French Polynesia

Tropical Storm Judy has exited French Polynesian Territory to the south leaving moderate localised damage to crops and structures in both the Tuamotu and Austral Groups. The Anaa Atoll in the Tuamotu Group was particularly affected. The storm has now entered the Southern Ocean and become extratropical.

One person drowned off Tahiti and another is missing, feared drowned off Moorea. All warnings have now been discontinued. The local authorities and the French Government are taking care of the relief effort to affected areas. Additional news on the relief effort can be found on TahitiPresse

This will be the last APCEDI Alert in this system.
