Storm Eunice – Friday 18 February 2022

DCC considers this information important:

https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/emergencies-severe-weather/disrupted-services

As you may have seen, Storm Eunice is expected to hit Dorset this evening and into tomorrow.

The council has made the difficult decision to advise schools to close and has suspended many services tomorrow/on Friday as 100mph winds are predicted to hit the county from Thursday night into Friday morning and through to the evening.

To help keep yourselves and others safe, please consider the following:

• Secure loose items in your garden, such as trampolines and furniture covers.
• Consider whether you need to travel. If you don’t, it may be best to stay at home.
• If you do have to travel, take extra care. Drive to the conditions and watch out for debris on the roads.
• Spotted a tree down or another obstruction on the highway? Let us know using online.
• For the latest weather forecast, please see the Met Office.
