The Interim Prime Minister is right now touring the disaster zones, areas affected and evacuation centres in the Western Division.
Commodore Frank Bainimarama was briefed by DISMAC officials on the situation so far while visiting St Andrews school in Nadi, one of the largest evacuation centres providing shelter for over 2000 people.
He was told that five DISMAC teams that have been activated to try and distribute rations to the evacuation centres, are finding it difficult reaching some centres because of flooding at Waimalika and Lomolomo. He was also told this is the worst flood to hit Nadi.
Meanwhile, heavy rain and floods has forced hotels in the Western Division to activate Plan B where most of them are resorting to backup generators and boreholes to cater to their customer's needs.
Raffles Gateway General Manager, Seda Siwan said they have also resorted to collecting rain water as their last resort.
The Capricorn International Hotel say they are currently using a borehole, tanks and pumps as the water pressure is very low and a backup generator whenever the power is cut off.
