English: I thank the Member for that question. Can I echo what he said? Everywhere I went last week, Llywydd, meeting people in the most difficult of circumstances, the first thing they wanted to say to me was just how much they appreciated the efforts made by emergency services, sometimes to rescue them directly from life-threatening situations. So, even when they themselves were in awful predicaments, the first thing they wanted to do was to pay tribute to others, and I'm keen to echo his sentiments in that regard. And he's absolutely right in what he said about community activity as well. I spent quite a part of one evening in Taff's Well rugby club just outside Cardiff and, the whole time that I was there, there was a procession of people coming to the club bringing goods, asking what more they could do, volunteering to be part of the effort that that centre was making to respond to the needs of people in those very difficult circumstances. And that sense of community effort in a crisis, I think, has been very characteristic of responses across Wales over the last two weeks. The Welsh Government is focused, at this point, on the services that we can provide to help individuals and households, businesses and local authorities in dealing with the immediate aftermath of the crisis, and we've put a series of measures in place to assist them in doing that. There will be a much longer haul for many householders and businesses, and indeed for local authorities in repairing bridges, making good roads that have been damaged, checking flood defences to make sure that they can be made resilient for the next time an event of this sort happens; and, in that, we will be seeking the assistance of the UK Government, because the costs of that are well beyond what the Welsh Government itself could, in an emergency of this sort, be expected to bear.
Welsh: Diolchaf i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn yna. A gaf i ategu'r hyn a ddywedodd? Ym mhobman yr euthum i iddyn nhw yr wythnos diwethaf, Llywydd, gan gyfarfod â phobl o dan yr amgylchiadau anoddaf, y peth cyntaf yr oedden nhw eisiau ei ddweud wrthyf i oedd cymaint yr oedden nhw'n gwerthfawrogi'r ymdrechion a wnaed gan y gwasanaethau brys, weithiau i'w hachub yn uniongyrchol o sefyllfaoedd a oedd yn peryglu eu bywydau. Felly, hyd yn oed pan yr oedden nhw eu hunain mewn helyntion ofnadwy, y peth cyntaf yr oedden nhw eisiau ei wneud oedd talu teyrnged i eraill, ac rwy'n awyddus i ategu ei eiriau ef yn hynny o beth. Ac mae yn llygad ei le yn yr hyn a ddywedodd am weithgarwch cymunedol hefyd. Treuliais ran helaeth o un noson yng nghlwb rygbi Ffynnon Taf ar gyrion Caerdydd, a'r holl amser yr oeddwn i yno, roedd rhesi o bobl yn dod i'r clwb gyda nwyddau, gan ofyn beth arall y gallen nhw ei wneud, gan wirfoddoli i fod yn rhan o'r ymdrech yr oedd y ganolfan honno'n ei gwneud i ymateb i anghenion pobl o dan yr amgylchiadau anodd iawn hynny. Ac mae'r synnwyr hwnnw o ymdrech gymunedol mewn argyfwng, yn fy marn i, wedi bod yn nodweddiadol iawn o ymatebion ledled Cymru dros y pythefnos diwethaf. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn canolbwyntio, ar hyn o bryd, ar y gwasanaethau y gallwn ni eu darparu i helpu unigolion ac aelwydydd, busnesau ac awdurdodau lleol i ymdrin â chanlyniadau uniongyrchol yr argyfwng, ac rydym ni wedi rhoi cyfres o fesurau ar waith i'w cynorthwyo i wneud hynny. Bydd taith llawer hwy yn wynebu llawer o ddeiliaid tai a busnesau, ac yn wir awdurdodau lleol o ran atgyweirio pontydd, trwsio ffyrdd sydd wedi eu difrodi, archwilio amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd i wneud yn siŵr y gellir eu gwneud yn gydnerth ar gyfer y tro nesaf y gwelir digwyddiad o'r math hwn; ac, yn hynny o beth, byddwn yn ceisio cymorth Llywodraeth y DU, gan fod costau hynny ymhell y tu hwnt i'r hyn y gellid disgwyl i Lywodraeth Cymru ei hun eu hysgwyddo, mewn argyfwng o'r math hwn.
