Flooding information and advice

If your home is about to be flooded

If your area has a flood warning (when flooding is expected) or severe flood warning (when there is a danger to life) or you can see the water approaching your property:

• Turn off your gas, electricity and water supplies, if it is safe to do so. Do not touch an electrical switch if you are standing in water.
• Move your family, vehicles, pets and important items to safety, for example upstairs or to higher ground.
• If you have them, use flood protection products, for example flood barriers or air brick covers.
• Check on vulnerable neighbours.
• If you need help and support, contact neighbours or nearby family and friends in the first instance. If your community has them, contact the local Flood Wardens or your Town or Parish Council emergency team.
