(MENAFN) Authorities in South Wales have declared a major incident in Monmouth on Saturday as Storm Claudia causes widespread and severe flooding across the region.
“This is a large-scale incident, and our crews and partners have been working tirelessly through the night and into today to help those affected,” said Matt Jones, area manager for the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service, according to reports.
Emergency teams are conducting rescues, evacuations, and welfare checks, while residents are strongly advised to avoid the Monmouth area entirely.
