❒ Have an emergency kit and make sure your family members know where it’s located.
 | How to tape up your windows with a plastic waterproof sheet The plastic sheet should be completely taped down across the bottom of the window and the sides to prevent water from entering your home. The top of the plastic sheet doesn’t need to be completely taped down but should be held in place with a few sections of tape |
❒ Place sandbags along the external door entrances if there is a flash or river flooding risk.
❒ Ensure vehicles, caravans and boats are placed on high land if safe to do so.
