In the original publication of this article,Reference Cuthbertson, Stewart and Lyon1 the outline of the region of Oceania in Figure 1 was slightly out of position. Furthermore, the captions for Figures 3 and 4 were erroneously swapped. The correct versions of all 3 figures with their captions appear below.

Figure 1. The Pacific Ring of Fire2 with Oceania Region Outlined.

Figure 3. Village Well Contaminated with Ashfall after Protective Metal Sheets Collapsed, South Ambae.

Figure 4. Complete Collapse of an Open-Sided Traditional Building (55mm ashfall depth).
