Dyfed-Powys Police, one of four Welsh police forces, has declared a major incident for the counties of Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Powys this morning.

The force says it continues to receive high volumes of calls about fallen trees and poor driving conditions.

Superintendent Chris Neve explains declaring the major incident “means that together with our partners, we can call on the resources we need to respond to the challenges brought by Storm Darragh”.

He adds that the force still has capacity to respond to priority calls.

“We have robust plans in place to respond to Storm Darragh, and we continue to work extremely closely with partner agencies to do so through local resilience arrangements and close working on the ground,” Supt Neve adds.
