Free sandbags to prevent flooding during Eowyn

The Department of Infrastructure says anyone worried about flooding during tomorrow's storms can pick up free sandbags.

An amber warning for coastal overtopping has been issued as Storm Eowyn approaches the Island.

Stocks of sandbags are available at various venues around the Island for people to collect.

You can pick some up at the Commercial Hotel, Trafalgar Hotel and Swingbridge in Ramsey, the Promenade and Glen Road in Laxey, Barbary Coast, Bridge Hotel, Lake Road, Strathallan Crescent in Douglas and Civil Defence headquarters in Tromode.
