Afternoon all - it's me again!<br>
Orkney's Local Emergency Coordination Group has met this morning to
discuss the aftermath of the recent snowfall - and the bad weather
coming in again on Sunday night. <br>
Heads up that an amber weather warning for winds of up to 85mph has
been issued for Orkney for 21:00 on Sunday night to 09:00 on Monday
morning<br>
The winds are expected to be at their highest overnight, but folk
locally are asked to ensure that they are prepared for this in the
usual way - tying down or taking in trampolines or other structures
in the garden, looking out for elderly or vulnerable friends and
family and preparing for the potential for power cuts. <br>
More information on preparing for power cuts is available at

across damage to power lines they should contact 105 immediately.<br>
