Is your property at risk of flooding?


HOW DO I FOUND OUT?
You can check by phoning Floodline on 08459 881188.
Alternatively, you can visiting our website:
www.environment-agency.gov.uk/floodwales and enter your postcode.


I’M AT RISK OF FLOODING, WHAT CAN I DO NOW?
There are many things you can do to prepare your property for flooding. The first step is to sign up to our free Floodline Warnings Direct service either by phone (08459 881188) or online. This enables you to receive a warning of flooding in your local area via phone, text or email. However, it is important to regularly monitor the weather forecast for your area.

There is also information online about how you can protect your property from flooding, or contact Floodline on 08459 881188 for further advice.

WHAT IS THE ENVIRONMENT AGENCY DOING?
We have been given government funding to work with local residents to produce a community flood plan and we are identifying volunteer flood wardens from within the community. The role of volunteer flood warden involves being part of a communication chain between the Environment Agency and the residents of Rhyl. Flood Wardens are not expected to enter flood water or put themselves at risk in any way.

We are looking for community spirited people to help us.

If you wish to become a volunteer flood warden, or are interested in learning more about the role, feel free to contact Sabina Dunkling on 01248 484029 or by e-mail: sabina.dunkling@environment-agency.wales.gov.uk
