A secure pedestrian pathway to the site is being established. Exposed power cables have been secured, and both a temporary and a large generator are being organized to restore power. The fiber teams are conducting optical measurements from the site or a nearby manhole to verify the fiber status towards Barcelona, as one cable appears to be the least damaged based on visual inspection. Spare equipment is being arranged to replace faulty components. The engineering team has completed the rebuild and pre-staging of all spare equipment, and the logistics team is working on delivering these to a nearby secure site.
