Flood advice & risk management
If you live in a flood-risk area, you should make your own personal plans to protect your home and your valuables.
Use these links to prepare:
- Check if you are at risk of flooding – Find out if your local area is prone to flooding.
- Make a flood plan – Learn how to protect your property and possessions.
- Read our Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Policy Statement – See the official policies we use to manage flood risks.
- Report a flood or possible cause of flooding
Around 5.2 million people in England and Wales are at risk of flooding, and many of them do not even know it.
Even if you do not live in a designated flood-risk zone, heavy rain can cause surface water flooding, and issues with water mains or sewers can still flood your home. Being prepared is the best way to keep yourself, your family, and your property safe.
