Flooding around the capital Apia has been the main reported area of damage from Cyclone Gita in Samoa.
Gita swept through Samoa at the weekend when it was still a category two storm.
Samoa's Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and a government assessment team visited parts of the country yesterday.
RNZI reports most of the damage caused has been through flooding, especially in and around Apia where the Vaisigano River's banks were breached.
One of the most serious flooding areas was around Samoa's iconic Aggie Grey's Sheraton Hotel near the Apia waterfront.
The hotel is now closed as workers are concentrating on the clean-up.
As of today, Fagaloa is yet to have power restored, but officials from the Electric Power Corporation said power should be back on line as late as Sunday, with Saturday targeted as the initial deadline for it to be restored.
The government said Cyclone Gita's damages and recovery work will be determined following the onsite visits.
The Cabinet Cyclone Gita onsite inspection will move to Savaii tomorrow.
