Abstract
On 20 February 2016, Fiji was hit by Category 5 Tropical Cyclone Winston. It was one of the largest cyclones Fiji had experienced and the government led Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) estimated the total value of the damages and losses for the country at FJ$1.99 billion. On the request of the Department of Fisheries, the Wildlife Conservation Society developed a post-disaster socioeconomic questionnaire with inputs from Fiji-based partners, to assess the impact of Cyclone Winston on fisheries-dependent communities in Fiji to inform national recovery and rehabilitation efforts. Surveys were conducted in April and May 2016 across 154 villages, 36 districts and 6 provinces that were directly along the path of Cyclone Winston.
