English: I would like to begin by thanking the Minister for her timely statement. I'd like to associate myself with the comments that she and Angela Burns have made, extending my sympathies to - and those of Plaid Cymru - to all those affected, as already expressed earlier by Adam Price, and particularly to the family and friends of Adam's constituent, Corey Sharpling, who tragically lost his life. I was very touched by the comments that Angela made about how many brave people have really stuck their necks out to protect themselves, their friends and their neighbours across the Mid and West Wales region at this difficult time. I'd like to concur with the comments that the Minister has made and that Angela Burns has made - the gratitude they've expressed to the emergency services, to all public services, and to local authority staff across Mid and West Wales who worked so hard over the weekend to assist those affected. I had, for example, particularly positive feedback from constituents with regard to how useful the emergency helplines run by Ceredigion and Carmarthen councils have proved to be at this very difficult time. It's very pleasant to be able to report back on an emergency situation and a response to that that really does seem to be working for people. I'm very glad that the Minister has been able to visit one of the communities affected, and I know that my colleagues Ben Lake MP, Jonathan Edwards MP and Adam Price AM will be visiting more of the areas affected on Friday. My colleague Elin Jones AM, ein Llywydd ni, for Ceredigion has particularly asked me to mention the efforts that communities themselves have made and that volunteers from the third sector have made to help with the clear-up after this devastating storm. This was, of course, the worst flooding faced by many of the communities in my region for 30 years, but I'm sure that the Minister will agree with me that the effects of climate change mean that these extreme events are going to become more common. Does the Minister agree with me that it is now time - ? And she has mentioned co-ordination, but I think we need to take this further. Does she agree with me that it's now time for the Welsh Government to develop a climate change adaptation plan to ensure that we are fully prepared and that our communities are adequately protected? And will she undertake today to discuss the development of such a plan with colleagues across Government and to report back to the Chamber on progress? I don't mean to suggest, Llywydd, that the Welsh Government is not taking any action in this area, but I think that it is now time for us to really consider co-ordinating that action even more effectively across portfolios. In her statement, the Minister mentions that there were communities that were successfully protected by existing flood defences, and I think we'd all join her in being very pleased about that, but she will be aware that there were situations where existing defences were breached, and not all of them long-standing defences. Will the Minister undertake today to review the Welsh Government's priorities with regard to investment in flood protection, and indeed the nature of the flood defences that we're using, in the light of these breaches? In her statement, the Minister states that road closures were not due to failing infrastructure. I hope that she would agree with me that we need to be adapting our infrastructure to meet the needs of very changing times. I'm sure she will be aware, for example, that most of the bridges across the Teifi were closed for long periods, creating significant problems for emergency services, for example, accessing Glangwili hospital from Ceredigion. Will she commit today to reviewing with the appropriate local authorities and public bodies the resilience of infrastructure in the affected areas, particularly addressing the strength of bridges across the Tawe and the Teifi? Some of them, as she will be aware, are of a considerable age and will have been potentially adversely affected by the strength of this event. With regard to resources, can the Minister tell us whether the Welsh Government has approached the Westminster Government, or whether you will do so, with a view to taking advantage potentially of the financial support available from the EU solidarity fund? I think this could prove to be a valuable source of additional resources at this difficult time. Can she - ? And she has mentioned this, but I'd like to press her further on this - . She mentioned this in response to Angela Burns, but can she provide assurances that the Welsh Government will be assisting affected local authorities by the emergency financial assistance scheme? Llywydd, nobody would expect the Minister to put a price on that today, but I do feel that we need to seek her assurance that there will be support available, even if she can't tell us exactly how much at present. And, finally, can the Minister tell us what support the Welsh Government will be able to offer the farming community, many of whom will face devastating losses of equipment and livestock? Diolch yn fawr.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am ei datganiad amserol. Hoffwn ddweud fy mod yn cytuno â'r sylwadau a wnaed ganddi hi ac Angela Burns, ac estyn fy nghydymdeimlad i - a Phlaid Cymru - at bawb sydd wedi'u heffeithio, fel sydd eisoes wedi'i fynegi yn gynharach gan Adam Price, ac yn enwedig i deulu a ffrindiau etholwr Adam, Corey Sharpling, a gollodd ei fywyd yn drasig. Roeddwn yn llawn tosturi o glywed y sylwadau a wnaeth Angela am sut y mae llawer o bobl ddewr wedi mynd yr ail filltir yn wir i ddiogelu eu hunain, eu ffrindiau a'u cymdogion ledled rhanbarth y canolbarth a'r gorllewin yn y cyfnod anodd hwn. Fe hoffwn i gytuno â sylwadau'r Gweinidog a sylwadau Angela Burns - y diolch y maen nhw wedi ei fynegi i'r gwasanaethau brys, i'r holl wasanaethau cyhoeddus, ac i staff yr awdurdod lleol ar draws y canolbarth a'r gorllewin a fu'n gweithio mor galed dros y penwythnos i gynorthwyo'r rhai hynny yr effeithiwyd arnynt. Cefais adborth cadarnhaol iawn, er enghraifft, gan etholwyr o ran pa mor ddefnyddiol fu'r llinellau cymorth brys yr oedd cynghorau Ceredigion a Chaerfyrddin yn eu cynnal yr adeg anodd iawn hon. Mae'n braf iawn gallu adrodd yn ôl ar sefyllfa frys ac ar ymateb i sefyllfa o'r fath yr ymddengys ei bod, mewn gwirionedd, yn gweithio i bobl. Rwy'n falch iawn bod y Gweinidog wedi gallu ymweld ag un o'r cymunedau yr effeithiwyd arnynt, a gwn y bydd fy nghyd-Aelodau, Ben Lake AS, Jonathan Edwards AS ac Adam Price AC yn ymweld â mwy o ardaloedd yr effeithiwyd arnynt ddydd Gwener. Mae fy nghyd-Aelod Elin Jones AC, ein Llywydd ni, dros Geredigion wedi gofyn imi sôn yn benodol am ymdrechion y cymunedau eu hunain ac ymdrechion gwirfoddolwyr o'r trydydd sector i helpu gyda'r gwaith clirio ar ôl y storm ddinistriol hon. Rhain oedd, wrth gwrs, y llifogydd gwaethaf a wynebodd llawer o'r cymunedau yn fy rhanbarth i ers 30 mlynedd, ond rwy'n siŵr y bydd y Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi bod effeithiau newid yn yr hinsawdd yn golygu bod y digwyddiadau eithafol hyn yn mynd i ddod yn fwy cyffredin. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi ei bod bellach yn bryd - ? Ac mae hi wedi crybwyll cydgysylltu, ond credaf fod angen inni fynd â hyn ymhellach. A yw hi'n cytuno â mi ei bod hi bellach yn bryd i Lywodraeth Cymru ddatblygu cynllun addasu i newid yn yr hinsawdd i sicrhau ein bod yn gwbl barod a bod ein cymunedau wedi'u hamddiffyn yn ddigonol? Ac a wnaiff hi ymrwymo heddiw i drafod datblygu cynllun o'r fath gyda chydweithwyr ar draws y Llywodraeth ac i adrodd yn ôl i'r Siambr ar y cynnydd? Dydw i ddim yn awgrymu, Llywydd, nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru yn cymryd unrhyw gamau yn y maes hwn, ond credaf ei bod bellach yn bryd i ni, mewn gwirionedd, ystyried cydgysylltu'r gweithredu hwnnw hyd yn oed yn fwy effeithiol ar draws portffolios. Yn ei datganiad, mae'r Gweinidog yn sôn bod yna gymunedau a gafodd eu diogelu'n llwyddiannus gan amddiffynfeydd llifogydd sy'n bodoli eisoes, ac rwy'n credu ein bod ni i gyd yr yn mor falch â hi yn hynny o beth, ond bydd hi'n ymwybodol y bu yna sefyllfaoedd lle cafodd amddiffynfeydd sydd eisoes yn bodoli eu torri, ac nid yw pob un ohonyn nhw'n amddiffynfeydd hirsefydlog. A wnaiff y Gweinidog ymrwymo heddiw i adolygu blaenoriaethau Llywodraeth Cymru o ran buddsoddi mewn amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd, ac yn wir y math o amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yr ydym ni yn eu defnyddio, yng ngoleuni'r toriadau hyn? Yn ei datganiad, mae'r Gweinidog yn datgan na chaewyd ffyrdd oherwydd i'r seilwaith fethu. Gobeithio y byddai hi'n cytuno â mi bod angen inni fod yn addasu ein seilwaith i ddiwallu anghenion amseroedd newidiol iawn. Rwy'n siŵr ei bod hi'n ymwybodol, er enghraifft, fod y rhan fwyaf o'r pontydd ar draws afon Teifi wedi'u cau am gyfnodau hir, gan greu problemau sylweddol ar gyfer gwasanaethau brys, er enghraifft, o ran cyrraedd ysbyty Glangwili o Geredigion. A wnaiff hi ymrwymo heddiw i adolygu, gyda'r awdurdodau lleol a'r cyrff cyhoeddus, pa mor briodol yw'r seilwaith yn yr ardaloedd yr effeithiwyd arnyn nhw, gan roi sylw penodol i gryfder y pontydd dros afon Teifi ac afon Tawe? Mae rhai ohonyn nhw, fel y bydd hi'n ymwybodol, o gryn oedran ac mae'n bosibl y bydd grymuster y digwyddiad hwn wedi effeithio'n andwyol arnyn nhw. O ran adnoddau, a wnaiff y Gweinidog ddweud wrthym ni a yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cysylltu â Llywodraeth San Steffan, neu a fyddwch chi'n gwneud hynny, gyda'r bwriad o fanteisio efallai ar y cymorth ariannol sydd ar gael o Gronfa Gydsefyll yr UE? Credaf y gallai hyn fod yn ffynhonnell werthfawr o adnoddau ychwanegol yn y cyfnod anodd hwn. A wnaiff hi - ? Ac mae hi wedi crybwyll hyn, ond hoffwn bwyso arni ymhellach ar hyn - . Soniodd am hyn mewn ymateb i Angela Burns, ond a wnaiff hi roi sicrwydd y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cynorthwyo awdurdodau lleol yr effeithiwyd arnyn nhw drwy'r cynllun cymorth ariannol brys? Llywydd, ni fyddai neb yn disgwyl i'r Gweinidog roi pris ar hynny heddiw, ond rwy'n teimlo bod angen inni geisio sicrwydd ganddi y bydd cymorth ar gael, hyd yn oed os na all hi ddweud wrthym ni faint yn union ar hyn o bryd. Ac, yn olaf, a wnaiff y Gweinidog ddweud wrthym ni pa gymorth a all Llywodraeth Cymru ei gynnig i'r gymuned ffermio, y bydd llawer ohonyn nhw yn wynebu colledion dinistriol o ran offer a da byw? Diolch yn fawr.
