DISMAC warns of possible flooding
“For those living in low-lying areas, you are advised to keep alert of flooding and to move to higher ground if flooding should occur,” said National Disaster Management Committee director Pajiliai Doubui this afternoon.
He advised members of the public to take precautions due to the tropical disturbance, which lies north of Fiji and was slowly moving in a south-to-south easterly direction.
The Fiji Meteorological Services predicted periods of rain, heavy at times, and squally thunderstorms over most places.
The public can expect moderate to fresh northeast to southeast winds, gusty at times with occasional rain and squally thunderstorms over Eastern Viti Levu, Vanua Levu, Taveuni, Lau and Lomaiviti Group and nearby smaller islands.
Parents are advised to be vigilant while looking after their children.
A strong wind warning remains in force for all Fiji waters.
