Public Events Should Be Cancelled During Status Orange Warning - Review Of Storm Éowyn Recommends

A number of steps have already been taken that includes flooding plans

Public events should be cancelled when a status orange weather warning is issued, with some called off sooner.

That's among a long list of recommendations contained in a review of the response to Storm Éowyn.

A number of steps are already being taken, including a review of local authority severe weather and flooding plans, and the development of a guide to establish Community Support Centres.

Storm Éowyn was described in the report as one of Ireland's most dangerous weather events in living memory.

Alan O'Reilly from Carlow Weather says the system needs to change if public events are cancelled under an orange level warning.
