We have continued to see news reports from across England and Wales, sharing accounts of severe weather events. We’ve seen the damage that they have caused in local communities over the past few weekends to homes, businesses and to individuals.

We urge everyone to stay safe during these extreme weather events. As well as to check on vulnerable neighbours or members of your community when possible. Please listen to updates and weather warnings from your local government services to remain informed of the situation in your local area.

You can check for flood warnings in England using this Government website

In addition, Age UK offers advice on how to support elderly residents during a flood crisis. They also offer advice on what to do after you’ve been affected by flooding.
