Check flooding for your postcode on GOV.UKWhat the three levels mean
The Environment Agency uses three levels, and the difference matters:
Flood alert — flooding is possible. Be prepared: check your flood plan, move valuables up, and avoid low-lying footpaths and bridges. Alerts are common and often stand down without flooding.
Flood warning — flooding is expected. Act now: move people, pets and cars to safety, turn off gas, water and electricity if it's safe, and put flood protection in place.
Severe flood warning — danger to life. Follow the advice of emergency services and be ready to evacuate.
Whatever the level, never drive or walk through flood water — it's the most common cause of death in a flood.
