Campaign
Flood action week
The Environment Agency’s annual campaign helping people to know exactly what to do in the event of flooding in their homes.
Flooding brings a significant risk to life, and the mental health impacts can last for two years or more after flooding has happened. Depression, anxiety and PTSD can affect up to a third of people who have been flooded and the average cost of flooding to a home is around £30,000.
The campaign is focused on helping people know what action to take in a flood, based on the ‘Prepare. Act. Survive.’ flood guide.
