Flood Advice

 

The Environment Agency Checklist offers a simple list of things you can do to help protect your home from flooding, or limit the damage caused. 

 

 

If your home is flooded it can be a difficult and frightening time.  The environment agency provides essential Flood Advice explaining what to do if a flood happens.

 

 

The Health Protection Agency has published advice about your health and cleaning up after a flood.  View the leaflet 'Cleaning Up After a Flood' they have prepared for more information

Please note that if your household has not been flooded, tap water is safe to drink.

 

 

In order to improve response to such events within Warwickshire the Emergency Planning Unit have developed a ‘Residents Flood Pack’ offering information, advice and contacts to assist the public during and after flooding. 

 

The flood pack contains advice and information on how to clean up after a flood, insurance company details, questions and answers on what you can claim for after a flood and advice on how to claim for damage to vehicles or caravans. In the useful links section you will find links to district and borough councils, the police, the environment agency and the fire and rescue service.

 

View or download the pack and find useful information related to flooding from Warwickshire County Council website.
