The Fiji Police Force is urging Fijians to cooperate with authorities in light of the current weather situation the country is facing.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Operations Livai Driu said adequate warnings are being issued by the Fiji Meteorological Service and Fiji NDMO, and with the closure of schools and some non-essential workers opting to remain at home, cooperation is key to safeguarding everyone’s well-being.
ACP Driu said Police officers have throughout the night assisted stakeholders in monitoring movement, and Police Barrack occupants have been on standby ready for deployment.
He said officers have also been assisting with clearing debris from main roads throughout the night.
ACP Driu said when a person defies warnings and advisories, they are essentially also risking the lives of search and rescue teams, so the best preventative measure is to adhere and await the green light from authorities.
