Be flood aware!

As in many areas, Breckland has previously experienced flooding and due to climate change we expect it will happen again in the future. In some areas, where the risk of flooding is from rivers, the Environment Agency will supply up to date flood warning information.

It is important that owners/occupiers living in areas prone to flooding ensure they are prepared for the possibility of flooding in advance of periods of bad weather. These preparations could include some of the readily available DIY flood protection equipment, sandbags or door kits.

If you or your property are in immediate danger from floodwater call 999. For non-emergency situations call the Norfolk County Council Flooding Hotline on 0344 800 8013 to report flooding anywhere in Norfolk.
