The Met Office has issued a guide offering advice and guidance for protecting yourself and your home during a flood.
This includes signing up for free flood warnings and preparing a flood plan.
They advise downloading a flood template from a local flood agency or making your own using their guide which includes writing down a list of useful contact numbers and how to shut off your gas and electricity supply.
They also advise preparing a flood kit including items such as torches and blankets and installing flood protection equipment such as sandbags into your home.
