WQ.247/2024
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES
BY DEPUTY M.B. ANDREWS OF ST HELIER NORTH
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 24th JUNE 2024
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 1st JULY 2024
Question
“Will the Minister advise the total additional expenditure incurred by the Government as a result of storm Ciarán?”
Answer
As a result of the Jersey Met Office forecast in October 2024, a number of Government departments and external organisations worked together to support the preparation for Storm Ciarán, and subsequent emergency response and recovery phases.
It should be noted that the restorative works in relation to Storm Ciarán are still ongoing in 2024 within the Government of Jersey estate portfolio and open public spaces. A total of £2.74 million was spent on clear up/repairs, restorative works and accommodation for displaced residents from the incident in October 2023 through to 31 May 2024.
The financial impacts of the Storm have been mitigated to some extent by the Government insurance policy, with receipts totalling circa £1.1 million, of which £0.4 million is still to be received during the year once repair works are completed.
