Parts of Ba town are underwater after floodwaters entered the main business district this morning.

The Fiji National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) continues to plead with the general public to stay away from flooded areas and refrain from attempting to cross flooded rivers or streams where water is above knee level.

The Fiji NDMO says if anyone needs assistance to move to higher ground, you can call 917 or 910.
