Heavy rainfall in Ba, Lautoka, and Tavua has caused significant flooding, leaving many families in low-lying areas devastated as their homes became submerged. This situation forced residents to seek shelter elsewhere, as their homes became uninhabitable.
Apolosi Lewaqai, the Divisional Commissioner Western for Police, provided an update on the situation, indicating that the floodwaters are beginning to recede in Lautoka, Ba, and Tavua. He noted that some families have relocated to evacuation centers for safety. Late last night, emergency services assisted a family in Ba who were stranded and required immediate relocation.
Mr. Lewaqai expressed optimism regarding the return to normalcy, stating that everyone is expected to resume their daily lives soon. Efforts are being made to support families and businesses as floodwaters recede and conditions improve.
This unfortunate event highlights the resilience of communities in times of crisis and the importance of preparedness for natural disasters. As the waters recede, there is hope for a swift recovery and rebuilding process for those affected.
In summary, while the flooding has caused destruction and displacement, the situation is improving, and recovery efforts are underway to restore normal life in the affected areas.
