Severe flooding expected. Take action immediately.
This Severe Warning has been issued because of the risk of rapid onset of flooding. Our forecast peak river level is expected to reach the top of the defences and therefore there is potential for localised overtopping.
River levels have risen and are forecast to continue rising at the Drakelow river gauge as a result of heavy and persistent rainfall due to Storm Dennis. Consequently the flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible overnight between 12:00 AM and 10:00AM tomorrow, 18/02/20.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Our incident response staff are actively checking river levels, the weather forecast and liaising with the emergency services.
Please have a bag ready with vital items like medicines and insurance documents and call 999 if in immediate danger. Move family pets, possessions and cars to safety.
This message will be updated tomorrow morning, 18/02/20, or as the situation changes.
