The Met Office has issued a rare red weather warning for Swansea for tomorrow morning. Under a red alert, we’re advised to expect flying debris that could cause damage to people and homes.
We’re advising all tenants to carry out a thorough assessment of their homes and any driveways, gardens, or balconies, etc, to look for and move/secure any items that could become a hazard. Some obvious items would be:
- Chairs and tables
- Trampolines
- Other garden toys
- Bins and recycling bags
- Bird feeders
We’re also asking them to check any windows and doors are securely closed.
We’re advising all landlords to locate/check any insurance documents they may have so they have them to hand should a tenant report an issue that falls under their remit.
Hopefully, the storm will pass without incident, but it’s better to be prepared!

- In an emergency, please dial 999
