DYFED-POWYS POLICE is urging people not to put themselves at risk, as they deal with the fallout of Storm Callum.
Roads across the Dyfed-Powys Police area have flooded – with Carmarthenshire impacted the worst – putting both the public and emergency responders at risk.
People are being asked to stay indoors except for essential travel, such as a medical emergency or to assist a vulnerable person. In particular, people are urged not observe floods as they may get in to difficulty.
If you do have to travel, read the road and drive carefully – braking distances increase in rain . Never risk driving through flood water.
While demand for police services is high, help them make the most of their resources and ensure the right calls get through. Consider your options before making contact – in some cases other organisations are better placed to help you.
If a tree or power/telephone line is down only call police if there is a significant risk to others OR there has been a collision and someone is injured – in this case call 999. If there is no danger, report it to your local council.
