19:00hrs The teams water rescue assets were placed on standby at the request of the North Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum. Ground water levels in the Malton and Norton area and rising river levels through the town continued to rise, due to the effects of Storm Christoph. While the local MR and Coastguard teams deployed to the area. A pumping plan and additional sandbags alleviated the problem and the team were stood down later that evening.
