The DoI attended 43 incidents where roads were blocked or partially blocked by trees or large branches on Sunday night.
Before this, three trees came down on the island’s roads on Saturday which were cleared by on-call teams.
Given the forecast for Sunday, and in preparation for the anticipated increase calls for service, Highway Services opened up its control room on Saturday afternoon to support the out of hours duty officer while the number of on-call Highway Services incident response teams was increased from two to six.
A member of staff was also based at the Emergency Joint Control Room for the evening in order to co-ordinate the response to emerging incidents with the emergency services and other authorities.
‘This morning our teams have cleared trees from several locations and are currently clearing fallen trees from various locations in Maughold, and Ballaleigh Road in Michael.’
