Severe Flood Warning

Survive

Severe Flood Warning - Survive

A severe flood warning means there is danger to life: you must act now.

call 999 if you’re in immediate danger
follow advice from the emergency services and evacuate if you’re told to do so
make sure you have an emergency kit including a torch, spare batteries, mobile phone and charger, warm clothes, important numbers like your home insurance, water, food, first aid kit and any medicines and babycare items you may need
alert neighbours and offer help if it's safe to do so
avoid driving or walking through flood water: just 30cm (1 foot) of fast flowing water could move your car and even shallow moving water can knock you off your feet
keep your family and pets away from floodwater – it may contain heavy debris, sharp objects, open manhole covers, sewage and chemicals
wash your hands if you’ve been in contact with flood water which may contain toxic substances
