Protect properties ahead of amber weather warning

Flood defences deployed and sandbags available to collect

Residents and businesses around the Island's harbours are being urged to prepare their properties ahead of an amber weather warning coming into force tonight.

Ronaldsway Met Office is warning of inner harbour flooding and coastal overtopping between 11pm until 3am tomorrow.

The areas most at risk are the Tongue and North Quay in Douglas, along with Tesco car park, as well as Mezeron Corner and West Quay in Ramsey.

The Isle of Man Government says sandbags are available for those in the at risk areas.

They can be collected from East Quay in Ramsey, Laxey promenade, Strathallan Crescent and outside the British and Barbary Coast on North Quay in Douglas, Tesco car park and Castletown promenade.

Flood defences are being deployed in Ramsey and Castletown.
