The maxima will vary from 1 degree in Haute Ardenne to 7 degrees on the Coast. The westerly wind will be moderate to fairly strong with peaks of 50 to 70 km/h. By the sea, it will be strong to very strong from the west-northwest with gusts up to 80 km/h.
Number 1722 activated
The number 1722 dedicated to non-urgent interventions by firefighters was activated on Sunday morning due to risks of storm or flooding, indicates the FPS Interior in a press release.
The Royal Meteorological Institute (IRM) has issued a yellow wind alert for the Coast, valid from 8:00 p.m. Sunday until 4:00 a.m. Monday morning. It also issued a yellow warning for slippery conditions in the provinces of Liège and Luxembourg, in effect from midday Sunday until 2 p.m. Monday.
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 call 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”. A request addressed to the electronic counter is in fact directly transmitted to the firefighters while a call to 1722 first goes through the operators of the 112 emergency centers, who then transfer it to the firefighters.
