Update on #StormDarragh

The weather situation is improving today across North Wales, however, there is still a yellow weather warning for wind in place across the area until 6pm this evening.

A multi-agency response to clear fallen trees and debris from roads and other public areas has recommenced this morning.

Approximately 11,000 properties remain without electric at this time. Please contact 105 if you need assistance and are vulnerable without power to your home. Engineers are out across the area working to bring the power back as soon as possible.

We would like to remind the public to take care whilst out and about today as there is a risk of falling trees and roof tiles, which may have been affected by the storm.

All Natural Resource Wales sites remain close today for public safety.

Superintendent Alwyn Williams said “I would like to thank the public for heeding the advice of the Emergency Services during Storm Darragh. Your support has allowed us to dispatch resources to incidents and areas most in need and provide an effective emergency response during difficult circumstances. 

“I would also like to thank all the staff from all agencies that are still out working to help with the recovery of the storm today. Whilst the situation is improving homes are still without power and flood alerts and warnings are still in place so please take care whilst out and about today.”
