Close to 6000 people are now taking shelter at evacuation centres in the Northern, Central and Eastern division.
At a briefing in the last hour, DISMAC Official Anthony Blake confirmed that evacuation centers are also being opened in Suva and in Ra.
Blake added that all schools are to remain closed tomorrow until further notice and all civil servants, except those in essential services, are to remain home tomorrow.
The Prime Minister Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has also given a directive that DISMAC is to try and use as less schools as possible as evacuation centers to ensure classes can resume as soon as Hurricane Tomas leaves the Fiji waters.
Blake also confirmed that health services at the major hospital continue and arrangements will be made for make-shift mortuary's if the need arises.
He said the death of a woman in the Northern Division at the weekend is being attributed to Hurricane Tomas.
DISMAC said their main focus at this stage is the Northern division as they expected severe flooding in the Labasa area with high tide coming in at 6:30 this evening.
DISMAC also confirmed that there is a no fly order and all airline services will remain suspended until further notice.
