The National Disaster Risk Management Office will be conducting live tsunami tests for the Suva–Lami corridor on Tuesday, at 11am.
A total of 13 tsunami sirens installed along the Suva foreshore will be activated during the test.
The siren locations include key public and institutional sites such as the Water Authority of Fiji - Kinoya Sewerage Plant, FINTEL in Vatuwaqa, RFMF Officers Training School in Vatuwaqa, USP Lower Campus, USP Statham Campus, USP main campus, Veiuto Primary School, Government Training Centre in Nasese, i-Taukei Trust Fund Board, SCC Civic Carpark rooftop, Biosecurity in Suva Central, Government Shpping Services in Walu Bay and Lami Town.
The NDRMO has clarified that while all 13 sirens will be activated during the exercise, no evacuation is required, and the public is advised to remain calm during the test.
The NDRMO says the exercise is part of ongoing government efforts to strengthen national preparedness for tsunami events and to test the functionality of early warning systems.
The exercise aims to ensure the readiness and reliability of the tsunami warning system as part of Fiji’s disaster preparedness framework.
