It is better to be prepared in advance rather than risking your life by taking last-minute precautionary measures amid strong winds and heavy rain.

While speaking to fijivillage News, Koronivia resident Apisai Suliano says although they have not felt any strong winds yet, he has already taken precautionary measures and prepared himself for what is to come.

The 43-year-old says he has also prepared solar lights and kerosene lamps as well in case they have a power outage.
