The Nadi and Ba Rivers are still at above critical levels and there are worrying signs again as we approach nightfall that flood water levels will rise even further when high tide comes in at 7pm tonight.
Residents are requested to take precautions.
In Nadi Town, water levels are up to the parking meters in some areas and authorities are requesting people to stay away from the flooded areas.
District Officer Nadi Peni Koro said people need to take action if they are in flood prone areas.
He said people should not leave it to late at night to start making calls for help.
Water levels continue to rise in the Nadi area and according to the Provincial Development Ministry, the flood waters have reached the 1 metre mark.
Families in the village of Narewa that are living in low lying areas have moved to higher ground.
Housewife Latu Qoro said her family managed to move most of their furniture except their beds which are soaked with water.
Qoro added they were fortunate that none of her furniture is on hire purchase as she had paid all her household items.
She said that while her house is flooded, the family is grateful that her family is safe.
