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
The objective of the creation of Emergency Response Hubs which is a national Government initiative is to assist people with basic needs such as water, hot food, phone charging, broadband access and shower facilities.
Any sporting clubs or community organisations that are offering assistance to the public currently or wish to assist are asked to contact the Emergency Response Hub via phone or email to register with the local authority.
Mayo County Council crews have been on the ground since the ending of the Red Warning on Friday last clearing roads, fallen trees, debris and assisting the public where they can and will continue to do over the coming days and weeks.
Unprecedented damage has been caused by Storm Éowyn and it will take some time for all damage and debris to be cleared by crews on the ground.
