The closest village to Mount Washington is Nabukelevu-I-Ra which is 6 kilometres from the mountain.

The villagers have also been advised not to go to the landslide site. 

The public is advised to remain alert and ensure that any slight damage to their houses etc should be monitored. 

The school management of Eliki Memorial School in Talaulia, Kadavu decided to close the school yesterday as they are concerned about the safety of the students and staff.
