From the FijiTimes this afternoon as preparations began for Cyclone Tomas:
DISMAC to mobilise
Update: 12:51PM THE Northern Division's disaster management team will be activated at 5pm today in Labasa.
DISMAC North reports that a skeleton team will be activated to monitor a tropical depression which currently lies 600km north-northeast of Fiji.

Activated???
We imagined what the "activation" transition from 4:59 to 5:00 looked like in the DISMAC offices. Below is our reconstruction (Please note that Tanshul does NOT work for or is affiliated with DISMAC in any way. Thank goodness for that.):
May everyone be safe should this storm hit Fiji.
