A statement issued by the authorities of Noumea says once the mosquitoes carry this bacteria they can no longer pass on dengue, chikungunya and Zika.

It says gradually the bacteria will spread to all the disease-carrying mosquitoes, hoping to eliminate the problem within about four years.

The method has reportedly been tested in five countries, with transmission rates plummeting.

She said they would be working closely with the National Disaster Management Office, DISMAC, to clear debris and help people get back on track with their lives.

"Our teams have been out on the grounds with the DISMAC operations team and we have visited evacuation centres but not all because that's an ongoing process and the plans are in place once the debris is cleared then we will start our campaign to ensure we avoid out breaks of any sort of diseases," she said.

"At the moment we haven't had any reports of any outbreak of disease on the ground level but the team on the ground is monitoring the situation."
