Flooding Advice

If you are affected by flooding the advice from the Environment Agency is:

  • If it's safe to do so, block doors with flood boards or sandbags and cover airbricks and other ventilation holes.
  • Move family, pets and valuables to a safe place.
  • Keep a flood kit ready including a torch, batteries, fully charged mobile phone, warm clothes, water, food and any prescription medicines you may need.
  • If it's safe, make sure your neighbours are aware of the situation and offer help to anyone who may need it.
  • Avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water.
  • Turn off gas, electricity and water if your property is about to flood.
  • Never touch an electrical switch if you are standing in water.
