In March 2018, Vanuatu's Ambae island experienced an eruption from the Monaro Volcano, resulting in severe ashfall and acid rain shortly after residents had returned to the island. The Volcanic Alert Level was raised from 2 to 3, eventually prompting the Council of Ministers to declare a State of Emergency. By April, the ongoing eruption led to the displacement of approximately 13,000 residents as nearly 750 homes were destroyed by volcanic ash and landslides.
