Storm Darragh leaves Pembrokeshire residents without power, but help is available with accommodation and generators for those in need
Pembrokeshire: So, after Storm Darragh hit, a lot of folks are still without power. But don’t worry, there’s help out there. The council is stepping up to provide accommodation and generators for those in need.
They mentioned that over 7,000 homes lost power at one point. It’s been five days since the storm, and some people are still struggling. With winter weather making things tougher, it’s a real challenge.

Need a generator? Just call the same number or shoot them an email at enquiries@pembrokeshire.gov.uk. They’re ready to help!
Also, if you know someone who’s struggling, let them know to contact the council during business hours. The community hubs are offering warm packs with gloves and flasks to help keep people cozy.
For those still without power, National Grid is providing free hot food and drinks from their welfare vans until 10 pm. You can find them at various locations, including Tregaron Livestock Market and Abercych Village Hall.
