For cost of living www.numbeo.com

Safety is the prime concern for any expat. Make sure the employer gives you good secure accommodation, transport to and from work.
Do not go out on your own at night, be careful when going to ATM to get money, do not wear fancy jewelry.

Does the offer include flights home, medical insurance cover, utilities paid for.
Is the money offer after tax or before tax. Taxation is between 35% to 40%.

We cannot advise you whether it is a good move or not. That is your decision.

I am not in PNG at this time. EMTV would be okay to work for. I have worked there before on 7 different projects.
