As challenging weather conditions approach this Christmas in Fiji, the Fiji Police Force has issued a warning for increased vigilance among the public. Assistant Commissioner of Police Operations (ACPO) Livai Driu has noticed rising water levels in several regions and is particularly urging parents to prevent their children from playing in flooded areas.
The Weather Office has released an advisory that highlights potential hazards over the next few days, coinciding with Christmas festivities. ACP Driu emphasized the importance of keeping children safe, recalling previous incidents where negligence has led to tragedy.
To ensure community safety, police will actively monitor affected areas and respond to reports of flooding. With Christmas Eve upon us, ACP Driu stressed the collective responsibility to keep each other safe and avoid any unfortunate occurrences during the holiday period.
This message serves as a timely reminder for everyone to prioritize safety and look out for one another during this festive season, which can often see an increase in weather-related incidents. It’s a chance for communities to come together, protect their loved ones, and ensure a joyful holiday amidst challenging conditions.
