Monitor Weather Reports to stay informed.
Secure garden furniture, bins, trampolines or other loose objects around your home.
During power outages avoid using candles or naked flames and never take any risks that will put you, your family or your home at risk.
Keep emergency numbers and family contact numbers close at hand to ensure they are easy to access.
Note your Eircode and MPRN number in the event you need to speak with emergency services or utility providers.
Never interfere with fallen power lines & keep up to date with power restoration on www.powercheck.ie
If using gas heaters or diesel generators ensure that you are using them safely and that they are correctly maintained and serviced.
Stay connected with your family and community where possible, it is good for you and for them as you navigate this challenge.
