Emergency operations centers in Fiji’s Western Division will continue their activities as the Fiji Meteorological Service forecasts that rainfall will persist over the weekend. Divisional Commissioner Apolosi Lewaqai has urged residents to take necessary precautions in light of the expected weather conditions.
In a proactive response to recent flooding, which affected many families earlier this week, the authorities have successfully provided food rations to 61 families currently sheltering in evacuation centers, including Andrews Primary School, Saioni Church, Korovuto Secondary School, and the Vou Dance Group Office.
Various organizations, including faith-based groups, non-governmental organizations, and local businesses, have stepped in to support the affected communities. They have contributed cooked meals, bottled water, food rations, and hygiene kits to those in need.
For anyone requiring assistance during this time, the Commissioner Western’s office can be contacted at 6664946 or on the direct line at 9937346. Additionally, residents are encouraged to reach out to their nearby police stations for emergencies.
This situation highlights the resilience and unity of the community as they come together to support each other through challenging times. Efforts from local organizations and authorities demonstrate a commitment to helping those affected, ensuring that families are not alone during this difficult period.
