Galway City Council has closed a number of roads and car parks, along with taking other protective measures, ahead of the arrival of Storm Bram today.
Galway will be under a status orange wind warning from 10am to 9pm on Tuesday, with flooding and dangerous debris expected from the storm.
Since Monday evening, the city council has closed Toft and Salthill until further notice.
Siverstrand Road has been closed to the public, as has a section of the Rosshill Road along the wooded area, while only local access is allowed on Ballyloughane Beach Road.
The flood barrier has also been installed at the Spanish Arch, and sandbags are available to the public at the Tourist Kiosk in Salthill, Claddagh Hall, the Fire Station on Fr Burke Road, and the Spanish Arch.
The woods at Bearna, Terryland, Merlin, and Rosshill have also been closed until further notice due to the risk posed by the storm.
Met Eireann has warned of a risk of coastal flooding with wave overtopping from Storm Bram. Debris and loose objects will also pose a risk, and power outages are expected.
People are advised to keep away from coastal edges, harbours, piers and low-lying promenades during high tide.
