STORM BARRA – REMAIN INDOORS AND AVOID TRAVEL

Met Éireann has issued a Status RED weather warning for County Kerry which is effective from 6am to 9pm on Tuesday. The following details are contained in the Met Éireann advisory issued today:

“Storm Barra: Southwesterly winds later veering northwesterly will reach mean speeds in excess of 80 km/h with severe or damaging gusts in excess of 130km/h. Due to a combination of high waves, storm surge and high tide, coastal flooding is expected. Disruption to power and travel are likely.” (www.met.ie)

Kerry County Council has initiated its Severe Weather Emergency Plan and is fully engaged in preparing for Storm Barra given the potential for fallen trees, power outages, damage to property and coastal flooding across the county on Tuesday and into Wednesday.

The Kerry Severe Weather Coordination Team, including representatives from Kerry County Council, An Garda Síochána, the HSE, Kerry Fire Service and Kerry Civil Defence is meeting to coordinate the response.

Members of the public are advised to remain indoors and to avoid travel for the duration of the weather warning between 6.00am and 9.00pm on Tuesday

Kerry County Council also advises the following:
• Items of property which are vulnerable to high winds, such as bins, trampolines, Christmas decorations and lights, and hoarding/fencing or similar items, should be secured and stored away.
• Tents/marquees and any other temporary outdoor structures should be secured or stored away.
• Because of the likelihood of power outages, householders are urged to charge mobile phones and torches and to check in with elderly or vulnerable neighbours today to ensure they are prepared for the storm.

Sandbags are being deployed to areas where there may be a known flooding impact in line with established procedures and with the assistance of the Kerry Civil Defence.

Public offices and libraries as well as public parks and amenities will be closed to public access on Tuesday. Kerry County Council can be contacted in the normal way (for non-weather matters) on 066 7183500 and [email protected].

An Garda Síochána at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau (GNECB) are warning the public of a recent smishing scam where persons are receiving text messages purporting to be from Permanent TSB advising of 'unusual activity' or a 'suspicious log-in attempt' on their account.

Once the person clicks on the link they will be brought to a cloned website where the fraudsters will seek their pins, passcodes and other personal information from them. The information sought is far and beyond what a bank would ever seek.

The fraudsters wants your personal data so they can steal money from your bank account or purport to be you when contacting banks.

Never click on a link of an unsolicited text, email or respond to cold callers seeking personal information.

Never give away personal data like PIN number, card numbers, passwords, one time codes, PPS numbers.
