Despite the cancellation, the NDRMO is reminding the public to remain alert and stay updated through official sources like the Mineral Resources Department, the Fiji Meteorological Service, and the NDRMO itself.

They are also advising people not to spread any false or unverified information, and to use this as a chance to check and update their family emergency plans and evacuation routes.

The NDRMO has thanked all communities, first responders and local authorities for their cooperation and preparedness during the advisory period.

And just a reminder in case of any future emergency, keep these numbers in mind:
