How we respond to a flood
Together with our partners, we have a plan in place to respond to flooding and reduce its impact.
During a flood we:
- give local advice and information about what to do
- may set up an emergency rest centre for evacuated residents and provide temporary accommodation if it is unsafe to return home
- deal with road closures and disruption to local services
- may provide sandbags, in line with our sandbag policy
- lead on local investigations to find the causes of flooding
- advise you to take steps to protect your property
