Staying safe during severe weather events

Neighbourhood Watch have continued to see news reports from across England and Wales, sharing accounts of severe weather events and the damage that they have caused in local communities over the past weekend, to homes, businesses, and individuals.

They urge everyone to stay safe during these extreme weather events, and to check on vulnerable neighbours or members of your community when possible. Please listen to updates and weather warnings from your local government services to remain informed of the situation in your local area.

You can check for flood warnings in England using this Government website, and you can check for flood warnings in Wales using this website.

This page from Age UK’s website offers advice on how to support elderly residents during a flood crisis, and this UK Government website offers advice on what to do after you’ve been affected by flooding.
