The property flood resilience advocate

• Understanding your flood risk: Check your long-term flood risk
• Signing up for flood warnings:  If you are at risk of river flooding , sign-up for FREE Environment Agency alerts
• For surface water flooding sign up for Met Office Weather Warnings
• Having a Flood ‘to-do list’ : If you do receive a flood alert or warning, you know exactly what to do and in what order. Download a FREE flood ‘to do list’
• Using products and materials to help keep the water out: These can include non-return valves, self-closing airbricks, flood barriers.
• Installing recoverable measures: These will help your home to dry out more quickly if water does get in, enabling you to return home sooner.
• Greening up your garden: Simple changes like using permeable surfaces, rain gardens or planting more greenery can help the ground absorb more water and reduce surface water runoff. 

PFR is about taking practical steps to reduce the damage caused by flooding and helping your home to recover more quickly afterwards. It’s not just about ‘products’ but about awareness, preparedness and recoverability – all of which provide peace of mind.

This website is packed full of impartial information about PFR, so please have a good browse and make a start on your resilience journey.
