Work is progressing on two multipurpose evacuation centres aimed at enhancing disaster resilience in remote villages in Ra and Cakaudrove.
The projects, located in Rokovuaka Village in the district of Nababa in Ra and Vatukuca Village in the district of Vaturova in Cakaudrove, are designed to provide safe shelter during floods and cyclones that these communities are frequently exposed to.
In Vatukuca, footing works for the new centre have been completed, and flooring works are underway.
