Some homes and businesses may be at risk of flooding due to their location. You should prepare for this where possible to minimise any potential damage, particularly if your property is near the Medway or Bourne rivers or other waterways.
Things you can do to prepare include:
- check the risk of flooding in your area
- sign up for flood alerts from the Environment Agency
- create a personal, group or business flood plan
- take direct steps to protect your property for flooding
The National Flood Forum’s Blue Pages offer information on products and services that may help protect your property from flooding, including relevant insurance.
To help us prepare for flooding you can also volunteer to be a flood warden.
