Recommendation  Relief Supplies to be taken to worst stricken areas as soon as possible as they are in dire need for food and rations. Waiting for the DDA will take time. In the time being the Div EOC could arrange for temporary supplies to be taken to these villages for them to live with before proper rations are distributed.

Focus for the next 48 hours  Delivery of Food Rations.  Accurate DDA Assessment  Consistent Compilation of District EOC reports  Consistent information of Evacuation centres for updating

Way forward o District EOC to proactively relay information to Divisional EOC for easy coordination of assistance. o Proper analysis of information gathering from ground teams to Operation EOC. This will assist in logistical arrangement.

Conclusion o The Northern Division has managed to restore almost all essential services. Government agencies on the ground are coordinating well with Divisional EOC except for Taveuni where the communication is partly restored. We hope that temporary relief supplies are taken ASAP to the worst stricken villages for them to survive for the time being while waiting for the rations to be distributed after the detailed Assessment is done.
