The Fiji Police Force is actively advising residents in flood-prone areas of the Western Division to seek higher ground immediately as continuous rainfall has led to flooding in several locations. Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACPO) Livai Driu emphasized the urgency of this action, urging individuals to head to safer elevations or to evacuation centers.
Teams positioned at police stations are prepared to assist with transportation to higher ground. ACP Driu highlighted the importance of moving to safety before nightfall, as traversing during dark conditions poses significant risks to both residents and police officers involved in the efforts.
The police are dedicated to their core mission of protecting life and property, and they are ready to provide support to those in need. For assistance in relocating, the Western Division Command and Coordination Center is available at the phone number 9905457.
This proactive approach by the police showcases their commitment to community safety in times of distress. Residents are reminded that taking swift action can prevent emergencies and ensure a safer environment for themselves and their families.
