If you are in the Western Division, the Divisional Police Commander is urging you to remain indoors or move to high ground and he is also calling on people not to travel between Sigatoka and Rakiraki as a number of roads are flooded.

SSP Surend Sami says torrential rain from last night has caused widespread flooding in various areas in Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Ba, Tavua and Rakiraki.

Sami says there have been landslides at Matawailevu on Kings Road and Nukuloa Feeder Road in Ra.

He says there are 297 people currently taking shelter at 11 evacuation centres in the West.
