Bula Readers,
I am writing this (1st April) while stranded in Sydney since all flights into Fiji have been
cancelled due to the floods that are wreaking havoc in many parts of Viti Levu. The reports
that have come through are painting a bleak picture but SOPAC/SPC and other partner
organisations like UNOCHA are already moving to provide assistance to the Fiji Government.
Over the coming days we will get a better appreciation of what the needs are and be able to
collaborate better to provide focussed support. In the coming months we will be able to relate
to you our activities that supported Fiji’s response and recovery from the flood disaster.
DRM capacity building moves forward and there have been some interesting activities that we
have been able to support over the last month or so. I hope you enjoy reading about them.
Please contact us if you have any suggestions to help us improve how we present updates to
you or if you have stories of your own that you wish to share.
