🇻🇺Vanuatu
Vanuatu consistently ranks as the world's most disaster-prone country per capita. Its 80 islands face tropical cyclones, frequent earthquakes along the New Hebrides Trench, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and sea-level rise — all in a small, dispersed island geography that makes response logistics especially demanding.
