To ensure the safety of the elderly, the pregnant women and the vulnerable in the community, the villagers of Silana in Tailevu have relocated the elderly people to Navunisea Primary School in Tailevu before nightfall.

Silana villager, Sanaila Rokotuivuna says they had already experienced cyclone devastation when Winston hit Fiji in 2016, and this time the villagers have not left things to the last minute.

Rokotuivuna says food and water has been stored by villagers and they also have put up shutters.

He says it was calm and sunny at Silana Village earlier today and villagers continued with their chores but they were getting prepared for Cyclone Mal as well.
