-There is a potential for tidal flooding in coastal areas. In addition to this, heavy persistent showers are expected, which in turn may lead to surface flooding in urban locations.

-High seas; the public are advised to stay away from coastal areas during this period. The Irish Coast Guard are appealing to people to “Stay Back, Stay High, Stay Dry”.

-Stay away from swollen rivers, streams and flooded riverbanks – banks can collapse without warning.

-Slow down, increase stopping distances and watch for surface water and debris on roads.

-If the road ahead is flooded, do not enter – turn around and find another route.

-Avoid contact with floodwater where possible; it may be contaminated with sewage, chemicals or sharp debris.

-People are advised to prepare for this period of severe weather, including ensuring their mobile phone is fully charged to enable communication.
