Fresh drinking water is an ongoing worry for those in Vanuatu following yesterday's 7.3 magnitude earthquake.
Early reports estimate hundreds are injured and more than a dozen people have died.
New Zealand search and rescue teams, equipment and supplies are currently on their way.
The airport is only open to humanitarian assistance - and the port is out of action.
Vanuatu-based journalist Dan McGarry says power is out and water's being restored very slowly.
"We lost two large-capacity water tanks on the hills just outside of town, so water supply is going to be a continuing concern."
