Managed security services in Tuvalu

Security considerations in Tuvalu

Programs usually cover offices, retail and warehouse sites, project compounds and port and airport facilities on Funafuti, all within a short distance of each other. Outer islands such as Nanumea, Nui and Vaitupu are reached by ship, so any site there needs its own relief and supervision plan. Tuvaluan and English are both in daily use. Flights are limited, so relief officers should be arranged locally, and coverage plans should include procedures for king tides, coastal flooding and cyclone warnings.
