"Monitor Met Éireann forecasts as conditions can change quickly. Monitor local authority websites and social media channels for notices on road closures, flooding updates and community alerts. Allow for disruption when travelling and plan extra travel time. Flooding may impact public transport and the public is encouraged to check with operators in advance of travelling. Stay vigilant while driving, reduce speed, expect surface water, debris and poor visibility. Do not bypass 'Road Closed' signs or drive through floodwater; turn back and use another route."
"Be wary of water levels and keep away from riverbanks, streams and canals as levels may rise quickly. Also, keep away from coastal edges, harbours, piers and low-lying promenades during high tide. If affected by flooding and in need of help, information on local response teams is available from your local authority. The Emergency Response Payment is available to people impacted by flooding in eight counties: Carlow, Dublin, Kilkenny, Louth, Monaghan, Waterford, Wexford and Wicklow."
