Pacific leaders of the Anglican church gathering in Fiji will be looking at better preparing their people for natural disasters.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is in Suva this week for a three day fono, more than 40 years after the last visit by the symbolic head of the church to Fiji.

The facilitator of the fono Fe'iloakitau Kaho Tevi  told Sally Round  that Archbishop Justin Welby wants to be a participant and to listen to what's happening in the region.
