He added that evacuation centres in each village have been fully occupied, and minor damages have been reported.
Kaunisela said villagers have collectively worked together to secure houses vulnerable to natural disasters.
Eight years ago, at around the same time, Koro Island was hit by one of the fiercest storms to hit the country – the strong and destructive Tropical Cyclone Winston.
