A Central Division Emergency Operation Center has been activated while a team is also monitoring the situation in the Western division in light of the heavy rainfall experienced in certain parts of the country.

A heavy rain warning remains in force for the Northern division and a heavy rain alert remains in force for the central and eastern division and Yasawa group.

The National Disaster Risk Management Office is closely monitoring the flood early warning systems with the Divisional Emergency Operations Centers and taking necessary precautions for public safety.

The Tropical Disturbance O3F remains slow moving to the east of Fiji and is expected to move southeastwards away from the Fiji group.

The International Federation of Red Cross states that despite their efforts to raise awareness within communities, there continues to be a significant lack of disaster preparedness and response in these areas.

A flash flood alert previously in force for all low lying, flood prone areas has been cancelled.

A heavy rain warning remains in place for the Northern Division, Lomaiviti and Lau Group.

The floodwaters in Rakiraki Town are receding, and people are stocking up on supplies in anticipation of more adverse weather.

The weather in Nadi remains unchanged, with ongoing rain and the afternoon high tide.

The Fiji Police Force has confirmed that 160 officers are on standby for flood operations and help in evacuation efforts in the Western Division.

The Nadi back road near Pacific Energy has been closed due to rising water, making it impassable, but all other roads within the town boundary remain open and accessible, with no flooding reported.

Parts of Ba, Nadi, Rakiraki and Tavua are already flooded and the Nadi Regional Specialised Meteorological Centre says residents living in flood-prone areas need to remain vigilant.
