Mayor John Leggett said
Marlborough Emergency Management’s focus is now on
recovery.
“Our communities are resourceful. We know
many of them have already connected with their neighbours
and are providing each other with support while the agencies
involved in our response reach them,” he
said.
“Recovery involves getting a full assessment
of the damage, clearing and repairing roads, and restoring
power and telecommunications lines around the region. Our
teams have been in the air today doing as much aerial
reconnaissance as possible.”
