[Limpet editor]

/From OIC on Facebook:/
The Orkney Local Emergency Coordination Group (OLECG) met this afternoon 
(Friday 20 March) to receive the latest updates from BT on the ongoing 
broadband outage affecting several North Isles communities.
BT confirmed that its Emergency Response Team is in Westray today, 
working to establish temporary solutions for essential services, 
including Kalisgarth Care Centre and Westray Junior High School. 
Engineers will travel to the other affected islands as soon as they can.
As reported yesterday, BT also advised that a repair vessel is being 
mobilised and will travel to Orkney as soon as possible.
Residents are encouraged to contact their individual mobile and 
broadband providers for information and advice specific to their 
service, as some providers are offering temporary data solutions where 
available.
OLECG partners are ensuring vulnerable residents are supported, and 
anyone with concerns are urged to contact the appropriate organisation.
We recognise that these issues may take several days to fully resolve, 
and OLECG partners will continue to meet, support island residents, and 
work with providers to facilitate the necessary repair works as a matter 
of urgency.
