Safety

6/10

Labasa is relatively calm, but petty crime, limited emergency services, and fewer transport options after dark reduce the margin for error for foreign residents.

Natural disaster resilience

2/10

Labasa is vulnerable to tropical cyclones, river flooding, intense rainfall, and landslides on Vanua Levu, and recovery can be slowed by damage to island transport and utilities.
