The cyclone season is back - Be aware of flooding! Here are five life-saving actions everyone in Fiji should know: 1. Move fast. If floodwaters start rising — don’t wait. Head to higher ground or your nearest evacuation centre. 2. Advise your children not to play in drains, culverts or flood-waters - What looks like fun can turn deadly in seconds. 3. Never walk or drive through moving water. Just a few inches can sweep you off your feet — or carry your car away. 4. Don’t go barefoot. Floodwaters
