Samoa and Fiji have begun to clean up the damage caused by the devastating Cyclone Evan, with flights being rescheduled and property repairs underway.

In Samoa, the death toll stands at four, with a further twelve people missing and total damage already estimated to be almost $200 million, TVNZ reported.

Due to flooding in Samoa’s capital Apia, Aggie Grey’s Hotel has re-located their guests to Aggie Grey’s Lagoon Beach Resort & Spa at no additional cost.

On the south coast, Coconuts Beach Resort & Spa is in need of repairs and will close until the end of the month, while Sa’Moana also suffered damage forcing closure until the New Year.

“Our hearts and prayers go out to the family and friends of those that were tragically killed by Cyclone Evan,” Samoa Tourism Authority chief executive Sonja Hunter said.

“The clean-up has begun and will be back to ‘business as usual’ in a short space of time - the proud people of Samoa won’t let the Cyclone stop them from providing their usual warm and friendly hospitality.”

The Samoa Tourism Authority recommends that all travellers re-confirm any impending bookings.

Fiji's economy will likely suffer short term losses after the cyclone tore across the main island of Viti Levu, bringing with it winds of more than 200 kilometres per hour tearing off roofs, bringing  down trees, blocking roads and forcing the cancellation of dozens of tourist flights.

Fortunately there have been no reported casualties in Fiji.

Air Pacific revised its flight schedule following an update on airfield conditions and weather reports from Fijian authorities, with departure times moved 30-90 minutes from the previous announced schedule.

Only two services originally scheduled for Tuesday were cancelled as a result of Cyclone Evan.
