In the greater Lautoka area, 74 structures were identified to be destroyed, 152 were severely damaged, and 674 have suffered moderate damages. These damaged structures were compared with total number of buildings/structures ( ~17,500) in the region and the percentage of damaged buildings across the area was estimated to be about 5%.
