This is an internally generated policy based on extensive consultations within the FSM designed to address the pressing needs of the country in relation to climate change and disaster risk management. It has been developed in recognition of the need to safeguard the development of FSM’s people, resources and economy, now and in the future, to the risks posed by a changing climate and the range of natural and human-made hazards to which the country is exposed, thus supersedes its 2009 Climate Change Policy.
This report presents the findings following research and a three-week field assessment (April 2009) of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in response to nation-wide marine inundation by extreme tides (December 2007, September 2008, and December 2008). This study was conducted at the request of the US Department of Agriculture Forest Service and the state and federal government of FSM
This document lists the TIMELINE of major natural disasters that have affected islands in the FSM.
This plan includes arrangements for preparedness, monitoring for potential events and response at the national level to manage national level events and support state level events. It also outlines arrangements to guide state disaster response plans and their connection to the national level arrangements. It also includes provisions for accessing international support.
This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Yap State, as well as the strengths that Yap has, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 7 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
This plan provides Kosrae’s current risk and vulnerability context, including it rich natural resources, and the specific actions identified for its six key sectors, which places Kosrae in good stead for a future that protects its people’s livelihood and environment. With specific actions identified for the 6 Priority Areas, and with pre-identified leading and supporting agencies, this JSAP supplements Kosrae’s Strategic Development Plan (SDP), and is a step towards risk-proofing its future.
This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Pohnpei State, as well as the state’s strengths, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 8 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
This plan provides both an overview of the current risk and vulnerability context in Chuuk State, as well as the state’s strengths, including its strong traditional culture and rich natural resources. It then further provides its developed actions across the 6 Priority Areas, which represent the main elements of their livelihoods they wished to sustain and strengthen in the years to come.
The NBSAP report outlines the state of the nation’s biological resources and the current biological and anthropogenic threats that are affecting its continued existence, with eleven strategic biodiversity themes identified as the most important issues facing the nation.

EARTH MOVING REGULATIONS FOR CHUUK EPA
This report presents results from a gap analysis of Pohnpei’s Protected Area Network and spatial prioritization analyses to identify priority areas to expand the existing network to fill representation gaps. These results are presented in support of efforts led by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and the Conservation Society of Pohnpei (CSP) to improve the effectiveness of Pohnpei’s protected areas.
In November 2017, The Nature Conservancy, Chuuk Conservation Society, and scientists from James Cook University convened a spatial planning workshop in Weno with the aim of integrating protected area network planning and state-wide fisheries management efforts. The aim is to work with local stakeholders to develop a network of marine managed areas that is informed by best available science, and will achieve both biodiversity conservation objectives and those articulated by resource owners and community members. The analyses presented in this report are in support of that objective.
This report presents methods and results of the following spa.al analyses to support the future development of Yaps’ protected area network:
1. Gap analysis of Yap’s existing protected area network
1.1. with respect to representation targets specified by the Micronesia challenge
1.2. in terms of adequacy for protecting key fish species
2. Spatial conservation prioritization to identify indicative priority areas for conservation, accounting for community interest in undertaking management
This report presents methods and results of the following spatial analyses to inform recommendations for improving the design of Kosrae’s PAN:
1. A gap analysis of Kosrae’s existing protected area network, with respect to representation targets specified by the Micronesia Challenge and in terms adequacy for protecting key fish species;
2. Spatial conservation prioritization to identify indicative priority areas for conservation.
