In the light of the recent and continuing weather conditions, institutions
should be aware of the Environment Agency's Floodline 0845 988 1188. This is
a single national number for the public to ring on any matter associated
with flooding throughout England and Wales. All calls are charged at local
rate. You can listen to the service in English or Welsh and there is a
Minicom number 0845 602 6340 for hearing impaired people.
Floodline offers you four options:
To listen to recorded information on the latest flooding situation anywhere
in England and Wales.
To report flooding direct to Environment Agency staff at your local office.
Only use this option in an emergency.
To request a set of Floodline factsheets. The factsheets are available in
English, Welsh, Hindi, Urdu, Gujarati, Punjabi, Bengali, Somali and Chinese.
Versions are also available in large print, braille and on audio cassette.
To speak to one of the Agency's trained Floodline operators for general
information and advice (8am-8pm Monday to Friday and 10am-4pm at weekends
and Bank Holidays).
