Storm Angus did not warrant the mobilisation of the UK’s national resources nor the military to be deployed. However the Environment Agency, emergency services, Highways England, Network Rail and local highway authorities in affected areas were on standby to assist those that were affected and to also ensure that infrastructure was protected as much as possible.
