"Emergency services, local authorities, National Highways and other voluntary and statutory agencies are on stand-by to put well-rehearsed plans into place.

"You can report trees fallen into a major road to National Highways and on local roads to your local authority.

"Please only call 999 if there is an immediate risk to life."
