The around 200 roads affected by Storm Ophelia in Northern Ireland have now reopened.
The Department for Infrastructure says more than 300 staff and contractors have been removing trees and debris and will continue to check and clear gullies and grills.
A spokesperson said: "The Department will continue to monitor the weather and will take any necessary action. Sandbag stocks are being replenished. Local communities are encouraged to remain aware and be ready to take necessary steps, in line with their local community and household plans.
"The Department would also ask landowners to be mindful of any trees fallen on property near to roads or at roadsides, which should be removed by the landowner."
