About his evolution weather vane “Barbara”each ministry held a detailed briefing on the situation in its sector, and it was found that its response state machine she was quick and efficient where problems arose.

Where some issues remain to be resolved is with her power supply in several areas – much less than in the past – and their resolution is expected in the near future.

“The reaction of the state apparatus as a whole, I think, was very satisfactory in the sense that we learned from previous similar bad weather. I believe that overall we have been successful and responded to the demands of the citizens both in terms of the condition of the roads and in terms of repairing the damage to the electrical networks, which has been of great concern to us in the past. .
