The County Emergency plan is being updated in the wake of the flooding devastation caused by Storm Babet last October
The countywide overall emergency plan is due to be finalised later this month and will contain specific flood responses for each of the county’s eight municipal districts.
The East Cork Flood Action Plan will include protocols for Midleton town and Youghal town following the multi-million euro damage caused in East Cork by Storm Babet.
Speaking to RedFM News Caroline Leahy of the Midleton and East Cork Flood Action group outlined what she believes needs to be included in the plan
"A first aid station as in the aftermath of the flooding, we get a lot of concerns about tetanus, a lot of people, with cuts and injuries when they were working around the clock in really toxic water damaged building More sandbag filling stations dotted around the town, a crisis centre for drinking water and basic essential needs, as what we had in October was an humanitarian crisis"
