Summary of Meetings
Useful Information from the Forum Meetings
Flooding: Be Prepared
- Flooding is a concern to residents in the
district, particularly in the Deal and Sandwich areas, and we have
responded by holding Forum meetings to discuss this
issue.
- We have all seen the devastating effect that
flooding can have - that's why it always pays to be prepared.
- To find out if you are at risk, please see the
Environment
Agency website or call the Floodline on 0845 988
1188.
- Sign up for
Floodline Warnings Direct, a free service from the Environment
Agency giving warnings direct by phone, mobile, email, SMS text
message, fax or pager.
- Even if you don't live in a flood risk area, flash flooding can
happen with very heavy rainfall and / or problems with water mains
or sewers. So what action can you take?
- Keep some plywood, sandbags or metal sheeting in the house to
cover doors, windows and airbricks.
- It's a good idea to know where to turn off your gas,
electricity and water supplies at the mains and to keep a list of
useful numbers to hand including Floodline, the Council, emergency
services and your insurance company.
- Other sensible precautions include ensuring that treasured
items, such as family photos albums that cannot be replaced, and
important personal documents like birth and wedding certificates
and passports, are kept upstairs away from floodwater.
