💧 Managing risk isn't about relying on a single solution. A catchment-based approach looks at the whole catchment and how water moves through it, combining a range of measures such as Natural Flood Management, flood defences, SuDS, Property Flood Resilience and community resilience.

☀️ From record-breaking temperatures to periods of extreme weather, we've seen plenty of reminders this year that our climate is changing.

But isn't just about hotter weather.

🌊 Rising sea levels, increased coastal flooding and greater erosion are all challenges that can affect our communities as the climate continues to change.

🏠 Buying a property? Don't forget to check the flood risk.

Understanding the risk before you purchase can help you avoid unexpected costs, insurance challenges and future disruption. Even if a property hasn't flooded before, it may still be at risk.

Take time to investigate the property's flood history, local flood risk and any existing flood protection measures before making a decision.

⚠️ Not everyone can sign up for the Environment Agency Warning Service, and flood warnings don't cover every type of flooding.

That's why it's important to know about other triggers for your plan, such as:
🌧️ Met Office weather warnings
📈 River and sea level monitoring
🌊 Tide tables
📱 Social media and local updates
