Advice during Status Yellow and Orange Wind Warnings Sunday 21 January 2024 #StormIsha
Stay away from all coastal areas for the duration of the Met Éireann warnings 🌊
All road users should be aware of the potential for hazardous travelling conditions. 🚗
Motorists should slow down and be aware of the dangers of fallen trees and debris. High sided vehicles, cyclists and motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable during this time. 🏍 🚲
It is critical that people never ever touch or approach fallen wires, stay safe and stay clear of fallen or damage electricity wires, and contact ESB Networks at 1800 372 999. Use the PowerCheck App to check for reconnection times.
Check transport websites for updates 🚌
Keep mobile phone charged 📱
Please also keep an eye on met.ie or the Met Éireann app for updated weather warnings.

As a warm weather spell continues across Ireland, the Irish Coast Guard, Water Safety Ireland, and the RNLI are appealing to the public to be attentive to their personal safety when engaging in any water or coastal activities.
The appeal comes as sea temperatures have reached a seasonal high, and many people will be tempted to go for a late summer swim. An average of nine people drown every month nationwide, and the organisations are urging the public to be mindful of the following advice during the current spell of warm weather.
If you see somebody in trouble in the water or along the coast or think they are in trouble, dial 112 or use VHF radio Channel 16 and ask for the Coast Guard
