What to do if flooding occurs

Grab bag

If you live in an area at risk of flooding, take the time to pack an emergency grab bag.

Find an easy-to-carry and sturdy bag and pack it with:

• warm clothes
• a torch (with spare batteries)
• a radio (wind-up or battery powered)
• food
• water
• mobile phone (with useful numbers included) and charger
• any medication you need
• any important documents you have
  and
• a first aid kit

Make sure the bag is easy to find so you can quickly take it with you when needed in an emergency.
