Did you know , you can get Flood Alerts for the River Yarrow and River Douglas by signing up at Gov. Uk . It's quick and easy - see below.

In England, the Environment Agency provides 3 types of flood warning:

flood alert – flooding is possible
flood warning – flooding is expected
severe flood warning – flooding could be a risk to life and significant disruption to communities

Severe flood warnings can be issued before, during or after flooding.

You should take flood warnings very seriously. The action you need to take is different for each type.

Check flood alerts and warnings in your area

It’s important to check the risk of flooding in your area. Flooding can happen even if you don’t live or work near a river or the sea.

You can:

check for flooding in the next 5 days
sign up for flood warnings by phone, text or email
check your long-term flood risk from rivers, the sea, surface water, reservoirs and groundwater (where data is available)
