With unfavorable weather conditions forecasted for this Christmas, the Fiji Police Force is urging the public to remain vigilant. Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACPO) Livai Driu has noted that water levels are rising in certain regions, prompting a warning to parents regarding the dangers of flooded areas.
“The Weather Office has issued an advisory for the upcoming days, and we’ve started receiving reports of flooding in various areas. We urge all parents to ensure their children do not play in these hazardous waters,” said ACP Driu. He highlighted that there have been incidents in the past that led to serious consequences for families.
To ensure public safety during this festive season, police officers will be actively monitoring flooded regions to prevent any unfortunate incidents, especially on Christmas Eve. ACP Driu emphasized the importance of community cooperation, encouraging everyone to look out for one another as we approach Christmas Day.
In summary, as the nation braces for challenging weather, it is vital for families to prioritize safety and be mindful of the risks posed by flooding. The call for collective vigilance serves as a reminder that even in festive times, community safety comes first.
As we navigate this situation together, it is reassuring to see the community rally around the spirit of care and concern for one another during the holiday season.
