Your first thought should be your safety. Find out if family or friends can offer you a place to stay when flooding threatens. If you have a disability contact your local authority social services and ask them how they will help if you are at risk from flooding.
Plan your escape route, particularly if you are in a bungalow. If you live in a house and have window locks, always keep a key upstairs. Find out from your local authority where you would be evacuated to and let family and friends know.
Make a list of useful numbers and keep it in a safe place. This should include, Floodline 0845 988 1188, family and friends, your local authority and your insurance company.
