In a press conference, the Chief Minister reassured islanders this evening that ongoing support continues to be available.

Chief Fire Officer Paul Brown confirmed that if residents have not been already contacted, then they are not being advised to evacuate at this time.

He added that a dedicated information line has been set up, and anyone needing help should now call:
