The cyclone season is back - Be aware of flooding! Here are five life-saving actions everyone in Fiji should know: 1. Move fast. If floodwaters start rising — don’t wait. Head to higher ground or your nearest evacuation centre. 2. Advise your children not to play in drains, culverts or flood-waters - What looks like fun can turn deadly in seconds. 3. Never walk or drive through moving water. Just a few inches can sweep you off your feet — or carry your car away. 4. Don’t go barefoot. Floodwaters

Every Fijian is to be cautious and ready as the cyclone season nears. And Director of the National Disaster Risk Management Office (NDRMO), Napolioni Boseiwaqa, states that the Department has also been actively conducting nationwide disaster preparation and awareness campaigns ahead of the cyclone season.
