Due to volcanic eruptions in Hunga Hapai Island in Tonga occurring again, the Mineral Resources Department is advising the public especially those in low lying coastal areas that there is a possibility of hazardous tsunami waves being generated.
They are advising people living along coastal areas to stay out of the water and away from the shore due to strong currents and dangerous waves.
They are monitoring the situation and will issue a further update.
The Seismology Department says as tsunami information, tsunami waves from these volcanic eruptions are in effect along the entire Fiji coastline.
Some maritime areas in Lau have already noticed wave activity along the coastline and moved to higher ground.
We are getting calls from concerned people living along the coast in Suva, Lami, Sigatoka and other areas, parts of Savusavu, Taveuni and other areas on whether they should move to higher ground now rather than waiting overnight.
If you are noticing increased wave activity, please move to higher ground.
