As Fiji enters the cyclone season, the people of Vuya Village in Bua Province chose to be proactive by building an evacuation centre.
Over the years whenever there were floods or a cyclone warning, about 300 villagers would seek shelter at their community hall.
Evacuation centre project chairperson Sulio Bulinadi said even people from five nearby settlements would use their community hall.
