Property searches continue

Emergency services are continuing to check properties in the  search for  any vulnerable people who may remain in flooded areas.

The search areas are presently  concentrated on St Asaph where around 500 properties have been evacuated.

Pumps are in place to make sure Ysbyty Glan Clwyd ( Glan Clwyd Hospital) at nearby Bodelwyddan  remains open.

Police will also be providing extra patrols in areas where people are unable  to return to their homes and are urging anyone concerned  for  vulnerable family or friends, who live in affected areas and who they haven't  been able to contact to ring 101.

Meanwhile residents are being urged, for their own safety,  not to return to their property until they have been told it is safe to do so, to listen to local radio and check websites for information on flood areas and road closures.
