Flooding has historically impacted homes, businesses and communities across the UK, but the number of people affected, and the severity of its impact are growing due to climate change. More intense storms, sudden heavy downpours, and rising sea levels all increase our risk.

There are steps we can take to make our homes and businesses better able to withstand flooding and recover more quickly, reducing the impact of flooding on our lives.

The first step is to be informed about your risk. BeFloodWarned provides information about local rainfall and current weather and flood warnings.

Our sister site BeFloodReady provides more information about Property Flood Resilience (PFR) measures you can install, and how to be better prepared for flooding.

If we are forewarned, we are forearmed.
