March 2012 Fiji floods

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In March 2012, Fiji was hit by serious flooding and landslides caused by Tropical Depression 17F and tropical cyclone Daphne. At least 4 people were killed, whilst 15,000 people were displaced into around 180 temporary shelters.[1][2] Water supplies and electricity were cut off.

The floods were exacerbated by a flood event earlier in the year (January 2012 Fiji floods) which caused widespread ground saturation and damage to infrastructure.[2][3]
