LThe IRM has issued a yellow alert for strong winds for this Sunday, from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. “A depression will run along the east coast of England and will be the Source of a sustained south to southwest flow over our regions,” explains the meteorological institute.
Inland, gusts will be between 65 and 75 km/h with winds classified at 5-6 on the Beaufort scale. At the coast, the winds will be considered very strong with gusts reaching 80 km/h. At sea, the wind will be very strong, even stormy (7-8 on the Beaufort scale).
The number 1722 dedicated to non-urgent interventions by firefighters was activated on Saturday due to the risk of storms, indicates the FPS Interior in a press release.
The FPS Interior has therefore activated the special number 1722, in order to prevent emergency lines from being clogged with calls for interventions that can wait. In the event of damage caused by a storm or water damage for which assistance from the fire brigade is required, you must therefore dial this number. If a life is in danger, you should call 112.
The FPS also recommends using the electronic counter 1722.be, considered “the most direct way to request help from firefighters in situations where no life is in danger”.
