"Met Éireann says more flooding is possible"
"Tánaiste Simon Harris has pledged to overhaul the system of weather warnings and ensure flood-relief schemes are not delayed by judicial reviews, as parts of the country recover from the devastation caused by Storm Chandra."
"Mr Harris also indicated yesterday that the current weather warning system needs to move away from yellow, orange and red status alerts, as they do not take into account other factors which could cause flooding and leave residents unprepared."
More flooding is possible. The system of weather warnings requires overhaul because yellow, orange and red alerts do not take into account other factors that can cause flooding and can leave residents unprepared. Flood-relief schemes must be protected from delays caused by judicial reviews to ensure timely implementation of defenses and recovery works. Parts of the country are recovering from devastation caused by Storm Chandra. The warning framework should move beyond color-coded statuses to include multiple risk indicators and operational triggers to improve preparedness, guide timely interventions, and accelerate flood-relief delivery.
