DISMAC is once again bracing themselves for an increase in the number of people seeking assistance at the evacuation centres set up in the North.
Senior DISMAC Officer Aisea Qumi Nakelo said that at the 452 people are in their 9 evacuation centres.
However, he said that this does not include the people who have fled up into the hills or to higher ground as Rauriko Village in Labasa is totally under water and villagers fleeing to the hills.

In the North: 9 evacuation centres with 452 people. In the Western Division there are 62 evacuation centres with 4150 people and in the Central eastern division in the 46 centres there are 2374 people.
