Following advice from the National Emergency Operation Centre, the Public Service Commission has informed all Ministries and Departments that Tropical Cyclone Mick with its current track will hit Fiji.

In view of the advice by DISMAC, the government has decided that all public servants that are not part of the Disaster Management Coordination Operations team and those not in the essential services are to be released with immediate effect.

This is for the whole of the Fiji group.

Please be prepared for Tropical Cyclone Mick.

On its current path people living in Viti Levu will definitely get affected in the next few hours and into tonight.

Stock up on food, water, candles and batteries for your radio, lights and torches in case there are power and water shutdowns.

Tropical Cyclone Mick is gaining momentum and winds are expected to intensify later today and tonight going into tomorrow.
