Jersey is making progress in its recovery efforts following Storm Goretti, although this is expected to continue over the next few weeks.
Infrastructure and Environment reports only 47 incidents remain in Jersey, with all but one government road open again.
The clean-up efforts are expected to take weeks, with teams working to remove debris, and there are four 'significant' tree-related incidents which need to be resolved.
Howard Davis Park remains closed due to five large trees that are down and pose a danger to islanders.
Islanders are also advised not to go into wooded areas, as many branches are hanging dangerously and fallen trees and soil damage from roots also remain a risk.
Jersey Electricity reports that all customers have had power restored to their homes, with the remaining 40 households back on the grid.
Teams of engineers have been working around the clock to restore power to around 400 households within two days of the storm.
They will now focus on recovery work over the next few weeks, repairing electrical infrastructure and clearing any debris.
The utility company reminds people to stay clear of any damaged power infrastructure and to report any hazards to 01534 505050.
In terms of mail, deliveries were made to the island on Saturday, 10 January, with teams working to sort through the backlog of parcels and letters, held up due to the storm.
Postmen will be working a rare Sunday shift to help catch up with deliveries.
