Fiji Meteorological Service Government of Republic of Fiji FIJI METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE GOVERNMENT OF REPUBLIC OF FIJI MEDIA RELEASE No. 8 2pm, Sunday, 31 January, 2021 TC Ana Moves Out Of Viti Levu Heading Towards Kadavu Another Tropical Depression 07F Monitored In Our Region Around 10pm last night, the centre of Tropical(TC) Ana moved pass the northern part of the Yasawa Group and headed towards Viti Levu. TC Ana slowed down over the Bligh Waters whilst making its way towards Viti Levu early this morning. While slow moving TC Ana strengthened into a category 2 system as it encountered favorable conditions for intensification. At 6am today, TC Ana as a category 2 system made landfall near Rakiraki and continued to track south-southeast over the Central Division towards the Suva area. By midday today, the centre of TC Ana was located over the coast of Viti Levu between Suva and Navua heading towards Kadavu. Very strong winds have been reported over Kadavu this morning and is expected to pick up as the centre approaches closer to Kadavu. TC Ana is expected to pass Kadavu tonight. Close to the centre of TC Ana, destructive storm force winds with average speeds of 100km/hr and momentary gusts of up to 140km/hr will continue to be felt over Viti Levu, Yasawa and Mamanuca Group, the western half of Vanua Levu, Lomaiviti Group, Vatulele, Beqa, Kadavu and nearby smaller islands and the Moala Group. Winds of these strength and speed can cause significant damage to trees, weak structures and houses, heavy damage to crops and power failures. Small crafts may break moorings due to storms force winds. Damaging gale force winds with average speeds of 85km/hr and momentary gusts of up to 120km/hr expected over the rest of the Fiji Group. Impacts will be minor damages to weak structures, minor damages to houses of very light materials in exposed communities. Damages to crops and vegetation with trees tilting due to gales is also likely. Rain will continue to be heavy and frequent with thunderstorms causing widespread flooding of roads, villages, towns and communities near streams, rivers and low lying areas of Fiji. Expect very high seas and heavy swells with breaking waves reaching the coastal areas that may cause coastal inundation and sea flooding especially during high tide. Poor visibility in areas of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Sea conditions are too dangerous for sea travel, sailing and other sea activities. Meanwhile, another tropical depression 07F(TD07F) is being monitored in our region and is currently located to the east of Rotuma. There’s moderate to high potential for TD07F to develop into a tropical cyclone in the next 24 hours. The current situation is closely monitored. Members of the public are advised to remain updated with the latest weather information and adhere to authorities on the ground.

  • We Are Kai Tonga”
    5. “We are Kai Tonga” The islands of Moala, Totoya and Matuku, collectively known as the Yasayasa Moala, lie between 100 and 130 kilometres south-east of Viti Levu and approximately the same distance south-west of Lakeba. While, during the nineteenth century, the three islands owed some allegiance to Bau, there existed also several family connections with Lakeba. The most prominent of the few practising Christians there was Donumailulu, or Donu who, after lotuing while living on Lakeba, brought the faith to Moala when he returned there in 1852.1 Because of his conversion, Donu was soon forced to leave the island’s principal village, Navucunimasi, now known as Naroi. He took refuge in the village of Vunuku where, with the aid of a Tongan teacher, he introduced Christianity.2 Donu’s home island and its two nearest neighbours were to be the scene of Ma`afu’s first military adventures, ostensibly undertaken in the cause of the lotu. Richard Lyth, still working on Lakeba, paid a pastoral visit to the Yasayasa Moala in October 1852. Despite the precarious state of Christianity on Moala itself, Lyth departed in optimistic mood, largely because of his confidence in Donu, “a very steady consistent man”.3 He observed that two young Moalan chiefs “who really ruled the land, remained determined haters of the truth”.4 On Matuku, which he also visited, all villages had accepted the lotu except the principal one, Dawaleka, to which Tui Nayau was vasu.5 The missionary’s qualified optimism was shattered in November when news reached Lakeba of an attack on Vunuku by the two chiefs opposed to the lotu.

  • Human Activities and Flood Hazards and Risks in the South West Pacific: a Case Study of the Navua Catchment Area, Fiji Islands
    HUMAN ACTIVITIES AND FLOOD HAZARDS AND RISKS IN THE SOUTH WEST PACIFIC: A CASE STUDY OF THE NAVUA CATCHMENT AREA, FIJI ISLANDS Katalaine Duaibe A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master in Science in Physical Geography School of Geography, Environment and Earth Science Victoria University of Wellington 2008 Abstract Human activity is increasingly becoming a factor contributing to ‘disasters’ that occur worldwide. As evident in the Asian Tsunami of 2004, the high levels of loss of life and livelihood, and damage to property were largely due to the population density and human development of the physical landscape of the stricken region. The magnitude of natural hazards coupled with the high population density and low levels of development can have disastrous or catastrophic impacts on a nation as a whole, especially in small island states. Furthermore, the lack of governance structures, legislative compliance, and regulatory land use and planning coupled with the perception of risk of the general public, can all contribute to the magnitude of disasters. The flood plains of Navua, a small rural town outside of Fiji’s capital and prone to all types of flooding, are explored to determine the extent to which human activities impact on the magnitude of flooding and flood damage. Human activities such as land degradation, deforestation of catchment areas, increased population density along the Navua riverbanks inadequate land use planning, zoning, and control of flood plain development; and inadequate drainage, and management of discharges are examined when determining the factors that have contributed to the increased incidence of flooding of the past 100 years until 2004.

    10 Bird, mammal and reptile remains Trevor H. Worthy School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, The University of New South Wales Geoffrey Clark Department of Archaeology and Natural History, The Australian National University Introduction This chapter reports the non-fish remains from 10 archaeological excavations on Viti Levu and the Lau Group, including the reanalysis of a bird-bone assemblage from Lakeba Island excavated previously by Simon Best (1984). Bone remains from Natunuku and Ugaga were uncommon and the small assemblages were misplaced during collection relocation after bushfires destroyed the ANU archaeological storage facility in 2003, and these assemblages are not considered further. Three of the non-fish faunal assemblages are from the Lau Group (Qaranipuqa, Votua, Sovanibeka), one is from the north coast of Viti Levu (Navatu 17A), and the remainder are from the southwest Viti Levu region (Malaqereqere, Tuvu, Volivoli II, Volivoli III, Qaraninoso II) and Beqa Island (Kulu). This chapter presents the non-fish fauna from the Lau Group, followed by that from Viti Levu and Beqa Island. Faunal analysis began early in Fiji, with bone remains identified at Navatu and Vuda on Viti Levu by Gifford (1951:208–213). Gifford’s excavations demonstrated that pig, dog, chicken, turtle, fruit bat and humans were consumed during the ‘early period’ of Fiji. The study of archaeofauna declined after this promising start due to the absence of prehistoric fauna in sites such as Sigatoka and Karobo (Palmer 1965; Birks 1973), and the cursory identification of bone remains at sites like Yanuca and Natunuku (Birks and Birks 1978; Davidson et al.
