Tipperary County Council Adds New Severe Weather Event Phone Number

297

Tipperary county council is putting an additional telephone line in place for the duration of the severe weather event.

Members of the public can contact Tipperary County Council Customer Service Desk on 0818 06 5000/6000 or a dedicated Severe Weather contact Number at 0818 06 5001 during Friday 24th January from 9.00am to 10.00pm and on Saturday 25th January from 9.00am to 1.00pm, after which calls will be transferred to the Council’s Out-of-hours contact number  0818 06 5003

Members of the public can also email [email protected] to report concerns.

Members of the public are reminded to register on MapAlerter, a public emergency notification system available on the Council’s Website, where they can receive additional useful information by text and e-mail.

The extremely strong winds are expected to cause fallen trees, power lines, damage to property, flying debris, and road blockages making driving conditions dangerous. 

Council road crews will not be in a position to respond to callouts from midnight tonight until the end of the Red Warning at 11.00am on Friday. Members of the public using the roads during this period could potentially find themselves very isolated should they get into difficulty. The Fire Services will only be in a position to respond to emergency calls that are deemed to be life critical.

Council Offices and services including libraries, swimming pools and civic amenity sites will be closed to the public on Friday 24th January. Civic Amenity sites will reopen on Saturday 25th January.
