The Woleai Region is an administrative section of Yap State of the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) in the central and west-central Caroline Islands. The Woleai Region consists of a group of five closely related atolls, namely Eaurupik, Elato, Faraulep, Ifaluk, Lamotrek and Woleai.  All of these atolls lie within a region where tropical storms and typhoons are near constant threats. Residents of each atoll depend on traditional fishing, gardening and some trade.
