The Fiji National Disaster Management Office is advising Turaga-ni-Koro and community leaders to prioritize the wellbeing of villagers.

NDMO Director Vasiti Soko is calling on the people living in Kadavu, Vatulele, Southern parts of Lau, Ono-i-Lau and the western half of Viti Levu to evacuate to safe places and move to higher grounds as Tropical Cyclone Harold moves closer to Fiji.

The NDMO Director says people in these areas should expect significant storm surge especially for those living along with the coastal areas.
