The Irish Coast Guard is appealing to the public to ‘Stay Back, Stay High, and Stay Dry’ from all coastal regions during Storm Éowyn.
The public is being advised that conditions around coastal regions, including cliffs, piers and beaches will be extremely dangerous during the Status Red and Status Orange conditions and in the days after.
Extremely dangerous, damaging and disruptive weather conditions are expected and the public are urged to ‘shelter in place’ during red warnings. A high surge advisory has been issued for all coasts, with wave overtopping expected in exposed low-lying coastal areas, especially on Atlantic coasts.
Status Red wind and marine storm warnings are also in place which will bring winds of force 10 and above.
The Irish Coast Guard remains ready to respond and will prioritises the safety of Coast Guard personnel and partner agencies during this Red weather warning. The Coast Guard appeals for the public to remain vigilant to the public safety alerts and weather updates across this period.
If you see somebody in trouble on the water or along the coast or think that they are in trouble, use Marine VHF Ch 16 or dial 112 and ask for the Coast Guard.
