Powerful drone footage has revealed the scale of Storm Ciarán devastation across the island – showing wrecked buildings, dismantled roof tiles, and trashed gardens.
After a night of near hurricane-strength winds and torrential rain which resulted in 69 adults and 15 children being forced to flee their homes, Jersey today began a massive clean-up.
This footage, captured and kindly shared by Slingshot Films, gives a sense of the scale of the challenge...
Islanders returning to their homes in the wake of the storm are being asked to follow this advice by Government:
Only return to your property if it is absolutely safe to do so and please do not risk your safety.
Before commencing any repair work, ensure it is safe to do so. If you are unsure, please wait for professional assistance. This includes turning off utilities, clearing debris, or making temporary repairs.
For properties that have sustained significant damage, we strongly advise seeking the opinion of a property surveyor or structural engineer before entering and/or trying the collect belongings. This is to prevent potential injuries from unstable structures or hidden hazards.
