It's feared Clare's response plan would fall victim to a number of critical errors if an extreme weather event struck again.
Councillors have warned the local authority this week that communities are none the wiser since Storm Éowyn.
The storm which brought winds of 180km/h down on the county, left over 44,000 people here without power.
It's since emerged that Clare has been denied funding to enhance facilities at community response hubs, while concerns have also been raised that emergency council crews wouldn't be readily available to fell trees or clear debris due to ongoing industrial action.
Clare FM's Daragh Dolan has been getting the mood of North and West Clare Councillors, beginning with Lisdoonvarna's Joe Garrihy.
