Where to get help

  • Insurance – Contact your company’s (24-hour) emergency helpline as soon as you can. Keep receipts for any emergency pumping or repair work done. Take meter readings of gas or electricity. Keep photographic records of all flood damage.
  • Your local flood support centre – this will most likely be set up and advertised after a flooding event has occurred.
  • Your local council’s Environmental Health department.
  • Your GP can help with issues related to stress, anxiety and other health issues.
  • Your friends and family
  • The Government may provide support under the Flood Recovery Framework for local council areas that have been significantly impacted. Your local council can tell you if there are grants available.
  • The National Flood Forum can issue practical advice, guidance and support before and after flooding
