The deployment, which is part of the Belfast Tidal Flood Alleviation Scheme, will focus on vulnerable areas near Lockview Road and Cutters Wharf. Authorities are taking these precautionary measures in anticipation of high tide conditions expected during the storm. Rivers staff will be actively monitoring tide levels across coastal locations throughout the weekend to ensure immediate response if necessary.
Local authorities urge residents to stay informed through official channels and heed any further instructions regarding weather alerts and traffic updates as the situation evolves.
