Tropical cyclones regularly impact the island nation

The Solomon Islands is a South Pacific island nation, where tropical cyclones (TCs) frequently occur. The nation’s history documents several TCs that have devastated the region [1]; people have lost their properties and the economy has been severely damaged due to extreme winds, torrential rain, and storm surges. Accurate information on TCs is critically important to the public because the SIs consists of many small, scattered islands, and people often travel from one to another by handcrafted small ships.
