“Our Police officers are on standby and will assist when the need arises from the Commissioner Northern’s office,” SSP Waqa said.

“For the past few days we have been on patrol and monitoring the weather situation and as of yesterday there has been no major rain.

“We have seen people in Macuata Province taking precautions by securing their property, which is a good sign.

“We continue to advise people to stay safe and watch over their children.”
