Disaster is no stranger to island's born survivor, 76

Volcanic eruptions, landslides, earthquakes, cyclones - 76-year-old Lik Simelum from Vanuatu has survived them all.

He lives in a country that's ranked as the world's most at-risk for natural disaster by the United Nations University. But his story is remarkable even in an archipelago that has grown familiar with nature's fury. It is also filled with sadness: his father and youngest brother were both killed by a landslide.

Simelum survived yet another disaster this month when Cyclone Pam ripped through the South Pacific archipelago, destroying thousands of homes and killing at least 17 people. Simelum's outdoor kitchen was blasted to pieces and he had to sweep floodwater from his home, but he doesn't seem too worried about all that.
