If your home is at risk of flooding, don’t wait for a warning to take action. Preparing now means you’ll be ready to respond quickly and safely if flooding occurs. Here’s what you can do today to be :

• Know your flood risk. Use the Environment Agency’s flood map to check if your property is in a flood-prone area. https://orlo.uk/YjWTz
• Protect important documents. Keep copies of key paperwork – insurance, ID, medical records – in waterproof containers or stored digitally.
• Include pets in your plan. Prepare a kit with pet food, medication, leads, and comfort items so your whole household is ready.
• Sign up for flood alerts. Get free warnings by phone, email or text. https://orlo.uk/Le3th
• Make a flood plan. Write down what you’ll do if flooding happens: who to contact, where to go, and what to take. Share it with everyone in your household. https://orlo.uk/VMuew
