Flood warning areas

How do we issue flood warnings?

For many areas at risk of flood, the Environment Agency warns residents when floods are likely to occur. If you live within a shaded area on the map, then flood warnings are available to you. To view the map visit the Flood warning areas map.

  • Floodline Warnings Direct - our free flood warning service

    Our free flood warning service can give you advance notice of when flooding from rivers and the sea is likely to happen and time to prepare. In some parts of England we can also tell you when flooding from groundwater is possible.
