The Government Chancellery stated that a preliminary assessment of the storm’s damage or the potential financial allocation for recovery efforts cannot be provided at this time. Further details on these matters are expected to emerge following an inter-institutional meeting. This meeting will involve representatives from various bodies responsible for mitigating the consequences and coordinating the response.
Attendees are expected to include the National Crisis Management Center (NKVC), the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO), Lithuanian Railways (LTG), and several other relevant institutions. In the interim, the Energy Distribution Operator (ESO) reported that, as of the latest data, 129,000 customers remain without electricity following last Saturday’s storm. The affected areas are primarily concentrated in the Kaunas, Utena, Panevėžys, and Vilnius regions.
The government anticipates that the discussions held at the upcoming meeting will clarify the scope of the damage and establish a plan for resource allocation. Officials are working to consolidate information from all participating agencies to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive response in the aftermath of the severe weather event.
