The Fiji Police Force is calling on everyone living in low lying or flood prone areas to move to higher ground as continuous rain is expected throughout the night.
Chief Operations Officer Acting Assistant Commissioner of Police Livai Driu says they have been receiving reports of flooding in the Eastern, Western Division and other parts of the country.
He says for their own safety, they should move now when there is still daylight.
Acting ACP Driu says in the past, members of the community usually call for assistance during the night when water level starts to rise, despite of their calls earlier to move to high places.
He says according to the weather advisories, rain will continue due to a low pressure over the group.
The Acting ACP further says if you are in the Western side of Fiji, especially the North West side and living in a flood prone area, please move now while there is still time.
ACP Driu says Police will be around patrolling flood prone areas and all stations have activated their standby teams.
