With an amber weather warning in effect across the county and much of the rest of the county we are keeping an eye on conditions in case the team is required to support the emergency or essential services.
Only travel if strictly necessary and expect debris on roads.

Localised flooding on roads can affect your journey.
If water has flooded across a section of road it may be difficult to tell exactly how deep it is. If you do come across a road that is flooded DO NOT attempt to drive through the flood water.

There’s an amber weather warning for wind affecting the county today.
If travelling, expect difficult conditions with possible debris or fallen trees on the road.
If the road is flooded DON’T drive through: turn around and try another route.

Driving in flood-prone areas can be extremely dangerous. Remember it's always safer to wait for floodwaters to recede or to find an alternative route than to risk driving through flooding. Your safety is paramount.

We encourage everyone to celebrate Bonfire Night safely. Home displays, if not done correctly have the potential to not only injure people but also set fire to nearby properties. We have a leaflet with safety advice for you to read on our website!

We’ve already seen storms Agnes, Babet and Ciarán this year, and although they’ve not affected the county too much we’re always ready to support the emergency and essential services if needed.
We’re also keeping an eye on the forecast for Corby’s fireworks: we’ll see you there.

Before entering a flood, on foot or in a car, remember these facts:
6 inches of moving water will sweep and adult off their feet.
12 inches of moving water will float a family size car!
32% of flood related deaths are from drowning in a vehicle!

Driving through flood water is the number one cause of death during flooding. Just 30cm of moving water is enough to float a car and wash it away.
If your road is flooded, turn around, don't drown.

This is why you should never drive through flood water. Fortunately the driver survived.
