Storm Eunice has led to many local authorities suspending their day-to-day services on Friday.
Bin collection services are among the most disrupted, with residents in some areas being told not to put their rubbish out as normal.
Council libraries are also being closed across Wales, while many leisure centres and swimming pools are also being shut. In some areas, leisure centres will be used as rest centres if needed.

In most areas, essential services including highways, essential social care, housing repairs and burials and cremations will continue on Friday - but if you are unsure, you should check your local authority's website for more information.
Health services
The storm has also impacted on health services - including Covid vaccination and test centres.
Swansea Bay Health Board has announced that is cancelling all non-urgent care - including district nursing, GP and dental appointments tomorrow - in order to keep patients safe.
A spokesperson for the health board said: "Please be aware that because of the severe red weather warning issued for Friday, 18 th February, all non-urgent NHS appointments are being cancelled in the Swansea Bay area tomorrow.
"We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but this is being done to keep people safe and avoid the risk of injury travelling to our sites.
"Only the most clinically urgent patients will be seen, and these individuals will be contacted directly by the hospital to confirm their appointment. However, if the severe weather at the time you are due to travel to hospital puts you at high risk of injury from flying debris, very strong gusts etc, please do not attend and we will rearrange your care asap.
"If you have a face-to-face appointment or scheduled operation and do not hear from us, then your appointment has been cancelled. Please do not attend. We will be in touch with you as soon as possible to rearrange it. Digital online consultations will still be held, but there may be some disruption if some staff are unavailable.
All non-urgent blood test appointments are also cancelled, while vaccination sites - including the Bay Field Hospital - and test centres are closed in Swansea tomorrow.

Public places and venues
The red weather warning has also led to a number of public venues announcing their temporary closure.
Some restaurants - including the popular Anna Loka in Cardiff - have said they will close tomorrow due to the weather, while McArthurGlen shopping centre in Bridgend will also be shut.
The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth also confirmed that its building will be closed on Friday - however, online resources are still available to access from home.
M&S has said its Talbot Green store will be closed on Friday morning.
Other events
Storm Eunice has caused widespread disruption, and even led to punk band Idles postponing their Cardiff gig.
The band had previously re-scheduled their gig, which was due to take place at the Motorpoint arena on January 21, to Friday, but the Bristol-based group tweeted earlier today to say that, due to red weather warnings for the area, they had "no choice" but to cancel the gig.
"We have been keeping updated on the weather situation for Cardiff, and a red weather warning for the area has just been issued," the band tweeted in an update.
"Safety is our number one priority and with the inability for people to travel we are left with no choice than to not go ahead with the show tomorrow. Our team is working on a rescheduled date so please hold on to your tickets. Stay safe."
Swansea University's open day, which was scheduled for Saturday, has also been cancelled due to the weather warning and the likelihood of disrupted travel.
Cardiff Parkrun's event - also on Saturday - is still on as things stand, but the group have warned participants that this could change.
A spokesperson for the group said: "With the red weather warning now on place for most of Friday we just wanted to give you plenty of prior warning that Saturday's event may be cancelled if course conditions are not safe. We will be conducting a course check early on Saturday morning and the Run Director will make a decision if the course is safe.
"Whilst the weather warning expires late on Friday our concern is about fallen trees and branches on the course. We will do everything we can to make sure the event can go ahead but the safety of runners and volunteers is our first priority.
"Please check the Facebook page to see if the event has been cancelled, if there is no message then it is our intention to continue as planned."
