Preparing
 
your
 
home
 
for
 
a
 
flood
Preparing
 
your
 
home
 
for
 
the
 
possibility
 
of 
 
a
 
flood
 
can
 
mean
 
the
 
difference
 
between
 
thousands
 
of 
 
pounds
 
worth
 
of 
 
damage,
 
an
 
on
 
going
 
legal
 
battle
 
with
 
your
 
insurance
 
company
 
and
 
personal
 
anguish
 
at
 
the
 
loss
 
of 
 
valuables
 
OR
 
a
 
simple
 
clean
 
up.
 
How
 
you
 
can
 
prepare
 
your
 
home
 
for
 
a
 
flood
There
 
are
 
flood
 
defence
 
packages
 
offered
 
by
 
the
 
government
 
that
 
cost
 
around
 
£30,000,
 
but
 
there
 
are
 
some
 
things
 
that
 
you
 
can
 
do
 
yourself 
 
or
 
at
 
little
 
cost.
How
 
is
 
water
 
getting
 
in?
There
 
will
 
be
 
many
 
access
 
points
 
at
 
ground
 
level
 
into
 
your
 
home.
 
This
 
could
 
be
 
an
 
airbrick
 
vent
 
or
 
a
 
gap
 
between
 
the
 
door
 
and
 
wall.Think
 
about
 
how
 
these
 
can
 
be
 
blocked.
 
You
 
could
 
use
 
sand
 
bags
 
or
 
better
 
still
 
have
 
a
 
builder
 
take
 
a
 
look
 
at
 
your
 
property
 
and
 
get
 
some
 
suggestions.
 
Simply
 
walking
 
around
 
your
 
home
 
will
 
give
 
you
 
an
 
idea
 
of 
 
where
 
the
 
vulnerable
 
areas
 
to
 
your
 
property
 
are
 
and
 
how
 
you
 
can
 
better
 
protect
 
them.

What
 
objects
 
are
 
in
 
harms
 
way?
The
 
floor
 
is
 
the
 
first
 
place
 
that
 
water
 
hits
 
and
 
then
 
travels
 
up
 
walls.
 
With
 
this
 
in
 
mind
 
you
 
can
 
take
 
the
 
following
 
precautions:
Move
 
electrical
 
points
 
further
 
up
 
the
 
walls
 
instead
 
of 
 
being
 
at
 
ground
 
level.
Take
 
kitchen
 
cabinets
 
off 
 
the
 
floor
 
and
 
attached
 
further
 
up
 
the
 
wall
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
there
 
is
 
a
 
safe
 
distance
 
the
 
area
 
where
 
water
 
will
 
collect
 
and
 
any
 
food.
Ensure
 
that
 
valuables
 
are
 
moved
 
upstairs
 
such
 
as
 
photographs
 
etc,
 
that
 
can
 
easily
 
be
 
damaged
 
by
 
water.
If 
 
you
 
have
 
a
 
wooden
 
floor,
 
think
 
how
 
this
 
is
 
going
 
to
 
be
 
affected
 
by
 
water.
 
In
 
light
 
of 
 
this
 
and
 
if 
 
you
 
are
 
at
 
risk,
 
consider
 
wooden
 
floors
 
for
 
the
 
first
 
floor
 
and
 
concrete
 
floors
 
for
 
the
 
ground
 
floor.Again,
 
taking
 
a
 
walk
 
around
 
your
 
property
 
will
 
easily
 
point
 
out
 
what
 
objects
 
are
 
going
 
to
 
be
 
affected
 
by
 
flood
 
water
 
making
 
it’s
 
way
 
into
 
your
 
property.
Be
 
prepared!
Like
 
the
 
scouts
 
say
 
‘be
 
prepared’.
 
If 
 
you
 
are
 
going
 
to
 
be
 
staying
 
in
 
your
 
property
 
then
 
make
 
sure
 
that
 
food
 
and
 
warm,
 
dry
 
clothes
 
are
 
on
 
hand.
 
During
 
the
 
flood
 
of 
 
2007
 
many
 
people
 
stayed
 
in
 
their
 
homes
 
until
 
the
 
water
 
subsided.
