The District Officer of Rotuma has activated its Emergency Operations and is working with civil servants in Rotuma as they are in preparation mode for Tropical Cyclone Mona.
This has been confirmed by the Director of the National Disaster Management Office Anare Leweniqila who is encouraging people in Rotuma to be prepared for strong winds and heavy rain as the system is approaching them.
Leweniqila says that they will be engaging more than 20 of their officers as part of their preparations for Tropical Cyclone Mona.
He says the numbers of officers engaged can be increased based on to how the system affects us.
Meanwhile, dark clouds are over Rotuma Island at the moment and there has not been any rain or strong winds felt.
This was highlighted by Jacob Reynoldn who is a missionary in Jolmea, Rotuma.
Reynoldn told Fijivillage that people in Jolmea have already started putting up shutters and tying their roof down as they prepare for the worst.
