It’s been a very busy week over in Wexford Civil Defence! Last weekend we had medical crews along with Wicklow Civil Defence in Ballinastoe wood providing cover at the mountain biking competitions there. Back in Wexford our Gorey unit was at the Gorey Park Family Bike Fest providing cover there. During the week our trainee EMTs were practicing for their upcoming practical exams.
On Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend, some of our boat crew, along with members from Carlow Civil Defence, were completing their Advanced Powerboat course. On Saturday also, the warden unit were visiting the EPA to prepare upcoming radiation monitoring, and our New Ross Unit were covering the Hike to Hook.
Last but not least, today our Welfare unit were in Carlow doing their Bulk Catering course!

A lot of ground covered in not very many days! Thank you to everyone who turned out!

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh go léir! Bhí oibrithe deonacha na Cosanta Sibhialta i láthair don cheiliúradh ar fud an chontae. Ghlacamar páirt sa pharáid i mBaile Loch Garman, agus tar éis sin, chuaigh muid go Ros Mhic Thriúin agus Guaire chun clúdach éigeandála a thabhairt. Go raibh míle maith agaibh agus táimid an-bhródúil asaibh go léir.

The south-east coast is now entering a period of High Spring Tides. This, combined with expected strong easterly and south easterly winds, and high surge levels will result in an increased risk of coastal related flooding on Wexford coastlines.

In addition, already high water levels in the River Slaney have the potential to increase the risk of wave overtopping and flooding in and around Wexford Harbour.

We ask businesses and residents in Wexford Town, in areas prone to flooding, to prepare your premises or home for potential threat of flooding from Wednesday evening onwards. The council will be distributing sandbags and making them available for flood prone areas from Wednesday. Available from Whitemill depot between 11am and 4pm Wednesday 4th February.
