7 December 2004 - Am I At Risk Of Flooding Information Website

As we are all aware within the UK, due to climate changes and global warming, we are now experiencing flooding and landslips, resulting in not only damage to properties, but greater health and safety risks for everyone.

To help prepare us for any flooding eventuality, the Environment Agency have provided an area within their website entitled Am I at Risk of Flooding, which contains lots of information such as the following:

  • Who is at risk
  • Flood warning areas
  • How your insurance is affected
  • Preparing for flooding
  • Provision of a flood map

With winter upon us and the risk of flooding perhaps being greater, the information provided within the Environment Agency website may help in keeping ourselves and our properties safer from the risk of flooding.

The website can be accessed by clicking the following:  Am I at risk of Flooding?
