During the Winter months, it is important to make sure that both you and your vehicle are prepared for periods of severe weather. Snow, ice and stormy conditions can make even the shortest of journeys difficult to navigate, so it is important that as a driver you are well prepared for driving in extreme weather. You should get your car serviced before the Winter sets in, to make sure it is ready for extreme weather- which will undoubtedly arrive when least expected! There are many things you can do to make sure that you are well equipped to deal with the Winter roads, for example; making sure that you have emergency equipment stored in your car, or planning your journey carefully before setting out on the roads. To assist you in preparing for the Winter months, the Office of Emergency Planning have published a revised edition of their Winter Ready Booklet, which aims to assist households in preparing for severe weather, and coping with it when it actually happens. A copy of the booklet can be downloaded here. Remember that everyday tasks which we take for granted become more difficult or even hazardous in severe weather, yet by taking some simple steps you can reduce the impact of such events.

Le linn mhíonna an Gheimhridh, bíonn sé tábhachtach a chinntiú go mbíonn tú agus d’fheithicil araon ullamh do thréimhsí drochaimsire. Is féidir le sneachta, le hoighear agus le dálaí stoirmeacha an-deacracht a chur le turais, fiú amháin i gcás turais an-ghearr. Mar sin, bíonn sé tábhachtach go mbíonn tú i do thiománaí an-ullamh le tiomáint in aimsir an-gharbh. Ba cheart duit seirbhís a dhéanamh ar do charr roimh theacht an Gheimhridh ar mhaithe lena chinntiú go mbeidh sé réidh le dul i ngleic le haimsir an-gharbh – rud is dócha a thiocfaidh chun cinn nuair nach mbeifear ag súil leis. Tá a lán nithe ann is féidir leat a dhéanamh lena chinntiú go mbeidh tú breá-ábalta déileáil le bóithre le linn an Gheimhridh; mar shampla, a chinntiú go mbíonn trealamh éigeandála i do charr, nó do thuras a phleanáil go cúramach sula rachaidh tú amach ar an mbóthar. D’fhonn cabhrú leat ullmhú do mhíonna an Gheimhridh, tá an Oifig Pleanála Éigeandála tar éis eagrán leasaithe a fhoilsiú dá Leabhrán Bí Ullamh don Gheimhreadh, agus an aidhm atá leis cabhrú le teaghlaigh ullmhú do dhrochaimsir, agus í a shárú nuair is gá. Is féidir cóip den leabhrán a íoslódáil anseo. Ná déan dearmad go mbíonn tascanna laethúla níos deacra, agus níos contúirtí, fiú, le linn drochaimsire. Trí roinnt bearta simplí a dhéanamh, áfach, is féidir leat tionchar na n-imeachtaí sin a laghdú.
