Fiji: Resorts Removed from Disaster List

Officials declared resorts in the main tourist area of Nadi and other regions of western Viti Levu out of the disaster zone following what meteorologists called the strongest and most relentless storm in 100 years. The tropical depression that dropped a week of non-stop torrential rain on the islands flooded wide areas of Viti Levu, killed 11 people, destroyed homes and businesses and trapped thousands of tourists in their hotels. The resorts are again open for business, while the cleanup for thousands of Fijians continues. It may take months for some towns to rebuild roads and other infrastructure.
