Important Advice for Policyholders of QBE Travel Insurance: Severe Flooding, Fiji
24 January 2012
A large tropical depression has caused flooding in some areas of Fiji. On the main island of Viti Levu, heavy rain in the mountain areas has caused the Ba, Nadi, and Sigatoka rivers to run extremely high, causing flooding in some low lying areas. A number of villages have been affected and the Coral Coast Road is currently closed at Sigatoka. The road between Denarau and Nadi Airport is currently under water but is accessible. All resorts and hotels are operating normally. The Fiji Meteorological Service advises that the depression is moving away slowly, but heavy rain is expected to continue over much of the country today and tomorrow.
