Relief efforts followed after Cyclone Percy.
In Swains Island, a rescue plane dropped food and supplies.
In Tokelau and northern Cook Islands, the governments of Australia and New Zealand offered over $200,000 dollars (2005 USD) in relief aid.

In Tokelau, many of the local officials feared about contamination since the cyclone had scattered human waste, trash, and other debris in the ocean and across the island.
There was also an increase of mosquitoes and other insects, increasing the threat of a dengue fever outbreak.
In addition, the storm damaged many of the hospitals, making treatment of the injured or displaced difficult.
Criticism of government preparedness followed after Percy as emergency plans were not easily understood by the local population.
In Nukunonu, the school, which was destroyed by Percy, was poorly built and vulnerable, and there was no early warning system.
Also, many of the population had little time to prepare for the storm because of a social event held hours earlier.
