A flash flood warning is currently in effect for low-lying and flash flood-prone regions, including Naitasiri province and the coastal areas of Serua-Namosi, Navua, Lami, Suva, Nausori, and Tailevu. The alert has now been expanded to cover the Rakiraki and Tavua areas as well.
The Fiji Roads Authority has reported the closure of several roads across the nation due to the ongoing flooding situation. In the Rakiraki and Ra areas, the following roads are under flood: Barotu Road, Vunikavikaloa Road, Burenitu Road, and Dreketi Road. Additionally, in the Northern Division, road closures include Nayagalevu low-level crossing, Sevaci Korotasere Road in Nayarabale, Qelemumu low-level crossing on Qelemumu Road, and Wainikoro and Namoli Road in Labasa, specifically between Bridge No. 3 and Namoli Village.
This situation underscores the importance of safety and preparedness in face of inclement weather. Residents in affected areas are advised to remain vigilant and adhere to public safety announcements. As the region experiences seasonal rainfall, communities should continue to stay informed about weather updates and road conditions.
In summary, residents in Fiji’s at-risk areas must prioritize their safety during this warning. Collaboration and timely updates from local authorities are vital in mitigating the impact of the flooding.
