HEAVY rain and high winds are forecast for the West Coast this week and Clare is on high flooding alert, as the county seeks to prevent the disasters of 2009 when so much of the county was under water.
Clare County Council are monitoring river levels as the weather worsens and have urged householders to be vigilant in case of flash flooding.
“Residents of the county can visit www.flooding.ie to familiarise themselves with the range of actions that can be taken in advance of, during and after flooding events,” Ennis Town Manager Ger Dollard told The Clare People this week.
