The warnings come following severe flooding in the south of Ireland from Storm Babet.
The town of Midleton was one of the worst affected as homes and businesses were flooded and people waded through rainwater up to their waist in many areas.
A huge clean-up operation has been under way with the Government setting up a €10 million fund to help businesses and households with costs to repairs.
