Albania: Authorities gradually restoring power to affected cities nationwide Jan. 5 /update 1
Power gradually restored across Albania Jan. 5. Residual disruptions likely.
Authorities are gradually restoring power throughout Albania late Jan. 5. Initial reports indicate that power in Fier, Durres, Lushnje, Vlore, and Saranda was partially restored after more than an hour of outages. Authorities attributed the outages to a disconnection in the transmission system.
Lingering ground transport and business disruptions are likely over the coming hours.
Charge mobile and communication devices when possible and ensure backup batteries are available. Plan for road travel delays due to possible malfunctioning or nonfunctional traffic lights in affected areas. Exercise caution when driving in recently impacted areas. Confirm business appointments. Verify that security systems are working. Park vehicles in secure areas, and complete ground movements before nightfall. Ensure that generators are functional and refuel devices where necessary. Reconfirm all transport arrangements.
