The Agency says staff are working around the clock to minimise flood risk and to protect people, property and land.

Teams are out clearing trash screens, inspecting coastal defences, and checking river levels.

Richard O’Callaghan, Duty Manager at the Environment Agency, said: “We’re expecting to see a combination of high tides and winds leading to an increased tidal surge for Saturday around midday. Due to Storm Brian we are currently assessing key areas at risk on the current forecasts and planning for our response.

“We will continue to monitor the situation very closely and we urge communities to be aware of their risk and be ready to act.”
