Narikoso villagers in Ono, Kadavu are preparing themselves for the worst impact of Tropical Cyclone Yasa as it tracks closer to Fiji.
Semi Naqelevuki of Narikoso says he understands the impact of natural disasters on the village as he has gone through some of the worst cyclones that hit the country.
Naqelevuki says they have started to put up cyclone shutters in houses and are listening to the news for any updates on the weather.
He says they were one of the villages that were affected during TC Harold and Sarai at the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, village social committee member Kelepi Saukitoga says they have discussed to use some of the new houses and the community hall as evacuation centres as these structures are Category 4 resilient.
Saukitoga says keeping everyone safe is their top priority for now.
