Be prepared in the event of a flood
If you have made a few preparations you can significantly reduce the damage and upset caused by a flood – especially if you live in an area where there is a high risk of flooding, or if you have had a flood before, or if your are elderly, in poor health or disabled. Councils, the emergency services and the Environment Agency will help where they can, but primarily you are responsible for protecting your own property.
