Play safe and get rid of old medication 💊

💊 What’s Sitting in Your Cupboard Could Cost a Life 💊

Take a moment today and think…
Are there old painkillers in a drawer?

Out-of-date antibiotics in the bathroom cabinet?

Medication that’s no longer needed sitting forgotten on a shelf?

Illegit drugs?

It only takes seconds for curious little hands, vulnerable teenagers, or someone struggling silently to find them.

Unused and expired medications in our homes are not harmless. They can be misused, accidentally taken, or fall into the wrong hands.

Across our communities, families are living with the devastating consequences of drug misuse, consequences that often begin closer to home than we realise.
We can all play a part in preventing harm.

Please check your cupboards today. Gather up any unused or out-of-date medicines. And deposit them safely into your local Community Drug Bin @ The Hub - Greater Ballycolman Community Centre.

One small action from you could mean everything to someone else. ❤️

What To Expect

Spray and flooding will lead to difficult driving conditions and possibly road closuresBus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longerSome interruption to power supplies and other services possible Flooding of a few homes and businesses is possibleStrong winds, generating large waves and spray, may present dangerous conditions for exposed coastal communities.

Met Office – Further Details

Areas of rain will continue to spread northwestwards across Northern Ireland during Thursday, Thursday night and much of Friday. Rain will be heavy at times and may lead to some flooding and travel disruption in places. The majority of places are most likely to see 10-20 mm of rain and low level impacts, with some southeast facing hills seeing 40-50 mm through this period.

Rain is expected to be particularly persistent over the east and southeast facing slopes of the Mourne Mountains and Antrim Hills, which may receive 60-80 mm; here low impacts are most likely overall with a small chance they could be medium.

At the same time, strong to gale forecast east to southeast winds may lead to some difficult travel conditions and large waves along Irish Sea coasts.

**What Should I Do?

Check if your property could be at risk of flooding. If so, consider preparing a flood plan and an emergency flood kit.

Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, or bus and train timetables, amending your travel plans if necessary.

People cope better with power cuts when they have prepared for them in advance. It’s easy to do; consider gathering torches and batteries, a mobile phone power pack and other essential items.

Be prepared for weather warnings to change quickly: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
