These intense gusts are caused by Storm Austen, which will cross our country starting Thursday evening. The Municipality of Dison calls for the utmost caution and invites everyone to take the necessary precautions to avoid accidents.
Important guidelines have been issued: it is advised to avoid walks in woods and wooded areas due to the risk of falling branches or trees. For safety reasons, the park of Ottomont castle will be closed. It is also recommended to secure or store garden furniture, parasols, trampolines, flower pots, and any objects likely to be carried away by the wind.
Residents are also asked to check their garden sheds, fences, and items on their terraces and balconies. The public is invited to limit travel if possible and to be particularly vigilant near trees and installations that could be weakened by the gusts.
The municipality emphasizes that caution is everyone's responsibility and encourages people to take care of themselves and their loved ones, while staying attentive to the evolving weather conditions and official instructions. The message is to be shared to inform as many people as possible.
The number 1722 has been activated for storm or flood risks when no lives are in danger, to help decongest the 112 emergency lines.
