Additional staff will also be on standby, including tree surgeons and gully sucker to keep the drains and gullies "as clear as possible". Cllr Stuart Hughes, the council's cabinet member for highways, said people should "use their judgement about whether it's sensible to venture out", and, if so, "to do so with the utmost care".
He said: "The unsettled weather is due to continue, with Storm Ciarán bringing another bout of heavy rain and strong winds across Devon this Wednesday and Thursday. "With a lot of trees still in leaf, we're expecting that the high winds and heavy rain will bring down a lot of debris onto the highway, and making the risk of surface flooding in some areas more likely."
