Flooding
The Environment Agency operates a flood warning system, giving information to the public, media, emergency services and local Authorities.
For more information on the current flooding situation, visit the Environment Agency website.
When there is a risk of flooding the Agency issues warnings through the media; they are broadcast on TV weather bulletins and on radio weather and travel reports. Make sure you know which is your local radio station.
Flood warnings are also displayed on ITV Teletext regional weather pages (page 154) and on BBC Ceefax (page 419).
The Environment Agency provides the Floodline Service - Telephone Number 0845 988 1188. You can listen to recorded flood warning information or speak to an operator for general information and advice 24 hours a day.
The Environment Agency website also provides information on how to manage the risk of flooding and the responsibilities of those who live next to a river.
