The National Disaster Management Office has issued a heavy rain alert for the Yasawa and Mamanuca groups, as well as Viti Levu, Kadavu, Moala, and the Southern Lau group. The NDMO is advising residents in these areas to stay vigilant, as localized flooding is anticipated in low-lying and flood-prone regions.
Parents are urged to keep their children away from flooded areas and to ensure they are closely supervised during this time. The community is also encouraged to reach out to the Fiji Police Force or National Fire Authority for assistance and to seek refuge in designated evacuation centers if needed.
The NDMO emphasizes the significance of public safety and calls on everyone to follow all official advisories. They are actively collaborating with the Fiji Meteorological Service to monitor the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
