How prepared are you for flooding?

Flooding affects more people than you might think. Around 6.3 million homes and businesses in England are in areas at risk of flooding from rivers, the sea or surface water. Yet many people remain unaware of their personal risk or unprepared for what might happen. 

Climate change is making extreme weather more frequent and intense across the UK. 
Last winter alone, the Environment Agency teams issued more than 3,000 flood alerts, 1,600 flood warnings, and three severe flood warnings. The Environment Agency is ready to respond should flooding happen, providing a 24/7 response, with 600 people on call at any one time around the country.
