Households across Louth are being encouraged to prepare for severe weather, with government-issued emergency advice leaflets recently delivered to homes.
But if a major storm causes power cuts or disrupts water supplies, where can people go for help? Louth County Council has identified five Community Support Centres to act as emergency hubs during severe weather or other local emergencies, but their locations have not yet been made public.
Councillor Marianne Butler is calling on the local authority to release those details so residents know where to turn for support if the worst happens this winter.
With storm season approaching, she says people need to be able to plan ahead and know what support is available in their own communities, and Councillor Butler joins us now to talk to us some more about this.
