As Storm Eunice is set to batter the county today with extremely heavy winds, Oxfordshire's emergency services have put warnings out. 

The Met Office has issued yellow, amber and red warnings for the UK. Most of Oxfordshire has been issued with an amber warning, while a small part of the county and most of the rest of the south east has been issued a red warning. 

The police, ambulance and fire service have provided warnings and information to people living in the county ahead of the storm. 

This is what they said: 

Police

Following Met Office warnings about the storm, a spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "This is expected to lead to a significant increase in calls to the police force and we are therefore reminding the public to only to call 999 in an emergency so those in need can be responded to quickly.

"An emergency is classed to be an immediate threat to life or property.

"In a non-emergency situation please call 101, or make a report online so we can ensure we respond appropriately.
