Police officers from the Labasa station responded today to assist a mother and her two-week-old son who were unable to return home after a visit to the clinic. The Fiji Police conveyed that it was a rewarding experience for their officers to ensure the mother and her baby made it back safely.
The assistance came amid the challenging conditions brought on by Tropical Cyclone Rae, which has caused heavy rains and winds in the Northern Division. As the cyclone approaches, the Fiji Police have been actively deploying teams to help community members, including facilitating evacuations to safer locations.
In a previous statement, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Livai Driu highlighted the active measures being taken by police divisions to assist residents at risk. This includes relocating families to designated evacuation centers and ensuring that the public adheres to safety guidelines in light of the severe weather.
Such timely police action demonstrates a commendable commitment to community safety and highlights the spirit of cooperation among officials and citizens during this critical weather event. The proactive response not only underscores the importance of community support but also fosters a sense of hope that residents can navigate through these challenges together.
As Fiji faces the impacts of Cyclone Rae, it is essential for residents to stay informed, adhere to safety advisories, and particularly watch over vulnerable populations, including children. The local authorities’ ongoing efforts provide a glimmer of reassurance that help is available, enhancing community resilience as they brace for the storm.
