Fiji's National Disaster Management Office said three households in Veriaisi, which is between Suva and Nausori on the east of Viti Levu, were evacuated last night as a precaution.
Some low-lying roads have also been closed because of flooding.
A heavy rain warning is in force for much of the country.
If unsure of your nearest evacuation center, contact your Turaga ni Koro, District Advisory Councillor, District Officer, or community leader. #GetDisasterReady
