You should:

• Act now by moving cars, pets, food, valuables and important documents to safety
• Put flood protection equipment in place
• Turn off gas, electricity and water supplies if it’s safe to do so
• Be prepared to evacuate your home

In the event of a severe flood warning you can expect flooding causing an extreme danger to life and property. You should:

• Collect the things you need for evacuation and turn off the gas, electricity and water supplies if it’s safe to do so
• Stay in a high place with a means of escape, avoid electricity sources and avoid walking or driving through flood water
• Call 999 immediately if you are in danger
