I have been briefed by the Chairman of the National Emergency Co-Ordination Group, who will meet again today, and every effort will be made to get the high voltage transmission lines up and running, houses reconnected and water supplies secured. My Government will fully assess the situation in the coming days to determine what support we can provide to the people and businesses caught in the wake of this storm.
