In a report released last night by the Disaster Management Office and the Disaster Advisory Committee, following Cyclone Gita, people's safety was a priority in Samoa.
The Samoan government decided on Monday night to extend the Declaration of Disaster imposed during Gita for another 48 hours.
"Overall, the restoration of affected lifeline services and clearance of debris are progressing well," the report said.
It said there was access throughout the country and maintenance of roads, drainages and road reserves were well underway.
