One of the main concerns at this stage is that melt water will lead to flooding, particularly when combined with the rain that is forecast.
@opwireland has indicated that the main flood risk is in small steep catchments, rather than the major rivers.#StormEmmahttps://twitter.com/merrionstreet/status/970021707481341953 …Show this thread -
The public are asked to be conscious of the risk of flooding to all kinds of property and to be aware that melt water accumulations can cause flooding and leaks into buildings.

Exercise extreme caution if it is necessary go outside on foot. Footpaths remain treacherous with the risk of slips, trips and falls. Snow can be a dangerous playground for children and adults. Please check on Vulnerable neighbours.

Businesses and householders are asked to clear footpaths outside their premises. Watch for flooding – stay away from watercourses over the next few days as river levels will rise in some catchments.

At a household and individual building level, melting snow will cause leaks, may pull down gutters and people should please watch out for snow sliding off roofs.
@MetEireann will be constantly updating information on their website and on twitter#StormEmma http://gov.ie/stormemma https://twitter.com/merrionstreet/status/970024160805212160 …Show this thread
