WIDESPREAD DAMAGE Fallen trees, such as this one in Castlebar, have created hazards on roads throughout the county.
Mayo County Council have set up a dedicated Emergency Response Hub to deal with the fallout to hit the county following Storm Éowyn.
Thousands of people across Mayo are still without electricity following Storm Éowyn on Friday and Mayo County Council’s Emergency Response Team met this morning to plan for the continued clean up and community response.
A dedicated Emergency Response Hub has been set up with the objective to assist people with basic needs such as water, hot food, phone charging, broadband access, showers, clothing and washing facilities. A dedicated phone number (094) 9064660 has been set up for the public to call, and they can also contact the hub via email to community@mayococo.ie.
This afternoon will see a multi-agency meeting convened as part of the response to continue planning ways of assisting the public and communities over the coming period of time.
Sporting clubs and community organisations that are currently offering assistance to the public or wish to assist are asked to contact the Emergency Response Hub via phone or email to register with the local authority.
