What you should consider doing in the event of possible flooding

monitor local water levels and weather conditions
get ready to act on your flood plan if you have one
move your car or other vehicles to higher ground, if it is safe to do so
prepare a flood kit of essential items including a torch with spare batteries, mobile phone and charger, warm clothes, insurance documents, water, food, first aid kit and any prescription medicines or baby care items you may need
businesses should inform staff and customers about the situation
check that you know how to turn off your gas, electricity and water mains supplies
in rural locations, farmers should consider moving livestock and equipment away from areas likely to flood
avoid walking, cycling or driving through flood water. 30 cm of fast-flowing water can move a car and six inches can knock an adult off their feet

Flood water is dangerous and may be polluted. Wash your hands thoroughly if you've been in contact with it.
