Tropical Cyclone Gene is heading towards southern Vanuatu after battering the main islands of Fiji.
The storm killed six people as it lashed Fiji and dozens of homes flattened.
Power was cut to half the island and many tourists were stranded.
Cyclone forecaster Ali Pate from Fiji's weather bureau says Gene is expected to hit Vanuatu later today, carrying winds of up to 85 kilometres an hour.
"If it continues on its current track, it will take it to the southern parts of Vanuatu and maintains its current intensity, then Vanuatu should be expecting at least a gale force storm," he said.
