We're getting the property ready for the autumn gales.

Trampoline and loose items in stock

Strong autumn gales are now forecast. We encourage residents of Hafnarfjörður to take care of tidying up in their gardens and around their homes. With simple measures, we can reduce the risk of wind damage and water accumulation, and ensure that pedestrians can get about safely.

Take down trampolines and put them in storage for the winter. Also secure garden furniture, plant pots, toys and other loose items that could be blown away in high winds. Ensure that the rubbish bins are well secured.

Leaves from drains

Clear leaves and other debris from drains around the house and on properties to ensure rainwater can flow freely. It is a good idea to regularly check drains during the autumn, especially when heavy rain is forecast.

Easy way for pedestrians

Trim any branches that overhang pavements and paths. Ensure they do not hit pedestrians or obstruct their way. Vegetation must also not obscure traffic signs or street lighting.

Keep an eye on the weather forecast and warnings, and get indoors before the weather hits.

Let's help each other keep our local area safe.
