Nearly two million properties are at risk of flooding in England

it. The better prepared you are, the better you'll cope with the
effects of flooding. Don't wait for a flood to prepare for a
flood! Prepare for a Flood....
Do:
Check with the Environment
Agency's Floodline 0845 988 1188 whether your property is at
risk and local flood warning arrangements for your area.
Keep a list of useful numbers to
hand - your council, emergency services, insurance company and
Floodline.

doors and airbricks - but remember to ensure that there is adequate
ventilation. In an emergency make them yourself using old pillow
cases, carrier bags or even tights filled with sand or earth.

blankets, waterproof clothing, wellingtons, a portable radio, first aid
kit, rubber gloves and key personal documents. Keep it upstairs if
possible.
Find out where to turn off your gas and
electricity supplies. If you're not sure, ask the person who checks your
meter when they next visit. Mark the tap or switch with a sticker to

with your Flood Kit.
