Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama is urging communities to use this time to trim tree branches, clean drains, board up homes, prepare emergency kits, and take other steps to keep homes and communities safe.
Bainimarama says we should all prepare now for heavy rain, damaging winds, coastal inundation and flooding across the country.
He says we should not be caught off guard by this storm.
Bainimarama has also urged fishermen not go out fishing as this is not the time to test their skills at sea.
He says fishermen should listen to warnings and wait until they are given clearance to do so as no fish is worth the risk.
The Prime Minister is calling on people to know the location of their nearest evacuation centre.
He says people can use "Find my EC" by texting "EC" to 132877 using viber, messenger or sms or call 3319250.
