Is flooding affecting you?
Flooding can be unpleasant and distressing and we’re here to help, to get things back to normal as quickly as possible. Understanding what type of flooding is affecting you, and how to protect yourself can be complicated. Below we’ve signposted you to who can help if you’re affected, dependent on the type of flooding you're experiencing.
The Flood Hub has been developed for the North West to help homeowners, businesses, communities and landowners manage their flood risk and become more flood resilient.
