Fiji extreme weather

Fiji fortunately is not the worst country when it comes to extreme weather. Though, it still experiences weather conditions that are a tad extreme. For instance big storms.
The storms that affect Fiji may sometimes turn deadly. As storms eventually turn to cyclones (we'll talk about cyclones another time) they can damage homes, flood businesses, and even kill people. Luckily storms are on watch out in Fiji as Meteorological Services alert the people of the country as best as they can. Big storms do not frequent as much as there is good weather in Fiji though. That is the reason the islands create such a good vacation spot.

Mass Wasting

Fiji is an area that hosts many rainfall patterns and rough topography which see some earthquakes that may make localized landslides a frequent hazard. As you can see below in the picture, much rain hits the eastern islands yet also affects the middle and western islands as well. Rain causes uneven soil to be pulled down with gravity causing, in some cases deadly, landslides.

Warning Systems/ Pre-cautions 

I could find no warning systems set up in Fiji currently for landslides. It appears as though they are relying mostly on measures set up for other hazards. For example they have preventative measures and tips for, cyclones, droughts, earthquakes, floods, etc. However, no mass wasting. I would like to think a few tips from Fiji's flood section on their National Disaster Management Office's web page would carry over into mass wasting protocol. I have provided below a picture for the example of the useful tips in the flood section.
