Cyclone Garance impacted Réunion on 27 and 28 February, with violent winds and torrential rain causing extensive damage. When the red alert was issued, teams from Citeos Réunion and Axians SIOI immediately mobilised to restore essential infrastructure.

 The Citeos teams are working on the ground alongside EDF SEI to restore electrical power to people, businesses and stores right across the island.  To ensure service continuity, the Axians teams deployed mobile generator units to restart and secure static telecoms sites, audited the tower infrastructure repairs, supplied fuel to isolated sites, recommissioned static and mobile services, and repaired EDF’s radio-relay network.
