This is a reporting tool for gathering information on areas affected by flooding, in particular the flooding of properties. Please note this will not generate an immediate response for assistance during or after an event. For more information on who to contact following a flood event please refer to our ‘who to contact if you experience flooding‘ page.

In order to inform our flood investigation reports and enable us to effectively prioritise our action plan, we need to understand what areas have been affected by flooding.
