The major incident status for Storm Eunice has been stood down this morning after the disruption caused yesterday.

At 10.28am Hampshire and Isle of Wight Local Resilience Forum (LRF) took the decision to down its major incident status for Storm Eunice.

Different agencies have dealt with a number of incidents over the last 24 hours in order to protect lives and ensure public safety, including fallen trees on national and local roads and railway lines, disruption to power supply and some structural damage to buildings.

A statement from Hampshire Constabulary said: “We know that this has impacted on many people within the two counties and would like to thank our communities for following the advice to keep themselves safe and their patience and understanding while we dealt with these.

“The major incident was declared on Thursday February 17, which meant we activated our well-rehearsed plans to co-ordinate the multi-agency response to Storm Eunice.

“While this has now been stood down, we would ask you to keep following the latest weather and travel updates as a yellow weather warning remains in place for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, with some strong gusts predicted which could hamper recovery efforts.”

Some localised power outages remain and network engineers continue to work to restore power to homes, and some train services remain impacted as rail engineers work to clear fallen trees and other storm-related debris.

To report a power cut, you can call the 105 number, which will take you to your local electricity network operator.

In an emergency, dial 999.
