If you have completed a flood plan for your home, school, business or community this is a positive step to prepare for flooding.
It is important to regularly review your plan to check if anything has changed and update your plan accordingly. It also helps to remind you of the steps you need to take when activating your plan.
Becoming familiar with these steps may help you in the event of a flood when your decision-making abilities may be affected and/or you may only have limited time to act.
For example:
- check contact numbers are current
- check numbers you have registered for the Flood Warning Service are current
- ensure any flood protection equipment is maintained and ready for use
- for businesses, check new staff are familiar with the procedures
- ensure that you circulate any updates to all involved
