Don't leave it too late - find out if you live in a flood risk area.

If your home is in an area susceptible to flooding, you will need to make specific arrangements. 

To check if you are in such an area visit the Environment Agency website (see 'Related Links') or contact Floodline on 0845 988 1188.

The Environment Agency has comprehensive advice on its website on what to do before, during and after a flooding incident.

Flooding to roads

Blocked drains and gullies, or damage to road surfaces can cause flooding even after average rainfall. This should be reported to the Highways section. For more information see 'Related Links'.
