This morning, while conducting a Search Training Exercise, we received a call from AGS requesting our assistance with a Missing Person. We immediately halted our exercise and responded to the request. Thankfully the person was located safe and well by Cork West Civil Defence.
STORM EOWYN Stay Safe. Stay Indoors. Do Not Travel. •ESB Emergency Services: 1800 372 999. •Uisce Éireann: 1800 278 278. •Cork County Council Emergency Number: (021) 4800048.
Tonight our Drone, and Incident Control team’s conducted training at the Long Strand. Training is vital to ensure that we are ready for when a call comes in to assist the Principal Response Agencies. These guys are highly skilled, and committed to what they do.
During the recent weather event, 18 of the country’s 28 @CivilDefenceIRL Units mobilised in support of emergency services/local communities across large parts of the country, responding to requests from Principal Responders including @gardainfo & @HSELive shorturl.at/zQDGe
Great to see the extraordinary work of our volunteers being recognised by The Evening Echo.
Our volunteers continue to assist and support our local community. Today we made deliveries of meals, groceries and medications to people unable to leave their homes. We transported nurses to patients. We brought essential caregivers and emergency services personnel to work.
Cork West volunteers have been working extremely hard, in very challenging conditions, to assist the PRAs throughout this cold weather snap. Tasks have included the transportation of dialysis patients and essential health care workers in our 4 wheel drive vehicles.
DAY 3 - MISSING PERSON SEARCH Cork West Civil Defence volunteers continue to search for a missing person in the Macroom area. Thanks to our colleagues in Kerry Civil Defence and Cork City Civil Defence who are assisting us today. @KYCivilDefence @cc_civildefence @CivilDefenceIRL

These fabulous volunteers are working as helpers in Lourdes this week with the Cork & Ross Diocesan Pilgrimage. We are so proud of them. What a wonderful thing to do. 🙏🙏
@tossy911 Congratulations Tom 👏👏👏👏
What an amazing day for the town and people of Skibbereen. Cork West Civil Defence were proud to be part of such a wonderful celebration. We are so proud of our Olympic Heroes. Thanks to our colleagues in Cork North and East Civil Defence for helping out today also.
The Fairfield Carpark is ready to Welcome Home our Olympic Heros. There is great excitement in the town of Skibbereen.
Cork West Civil Defence, along with our Irish Red Cross colleagues, were in Béal Na Bláth today supporting the Annual Michael Collins Commemoration. This one marking his 102nd anniversary. We were honoured that An Taoiseach Simon Harris took the time to meet our volunteers.
Our 6 Drone Operators, including our 3 newly qualified operators, conducted Drone Search Training this week in a densely forested area. The aim of the exercise was to locate a missing individual, hidden by thick foliage.
Bere Island Projects Group made Lonehort Battery available for this exercise and were delighted to assist @CWCivilDefence in the work they do.
Thank you to all involved in our EMT Training Weekend held this weekend on Bere Island. It was an amazing event which brought some extraordinary, passionate and selfless people together. The people of West Cork are certainly in safe hands. 🙏
@BereIslandGroup Thank you so much for allowing us the use of Lonehort Battery. It is an amazing place and well done to you for all the work you do.
