Herm's retained unit was introduced in 2001, replacing the island's voluntary fire service, with the aim of providing first response to anyemergencies while crews travel from Guernsey.
Police in the city said they were watching forecasts carefully and had plans in place to reopen a weather-related Silver Command room over weekend to deal with anyemergencies if needed.
And we've been coordinating with the United Nations, which now has a number of personnel on the ground as well, to make sure that people are getting the help they need and we are in a position to respond to any additional emergencies that may arise out of the situation there.
