Flooding is a very real danger, we want to help you prepare for it, and deal with it if the worst happens.
Here are some links to essential advice about preparing for flooding, what to do if you are affected by flooding, cleaning up after flooding and advice about dealing with your insurance.
The Environment Agency Flood Warning System
The Environment Agency monitors rainfall and water levels across the country and issues warnings of potential flood situations.
We've listed below the flood warning levels, to find out more visit the Environment Agency flood pages.
Flooding is possible - be prepared
A Flood Alert is used to warn people of the possibility of flooding and encourage them to be alert, stay vigilant and make early preparations for flooding. A Flood Alert is issued earlier than a Flood Warning, to give people advance notice that flooding is possible.
Flooding is expected - immediate action required
A Flood Warning is used to warn people of expected flooding and encourage them to take action to protect themselves and their property.
Severe flooding - danger to life
A Severe Flood Warning is used when there is a significant risk to life or significant disruption to communities and we need to encourage people to take action to protect themselves and follow the advice of the emergency services.
