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.
