Sandbags and flood protection – see also our Flooding page

Residents wishing to use sandbags to help protect their property are required to source their own. They are of some benefit against flooding but should not be used as a first line of defence.

The National Flood Forum has details about insurance and guidance on protecting your property.

Information about flood protection products is available here: http://www.nationalfloodforum.org.uk/blue-pages/

There is guidance from the Environment Agency on how to use sandbags here: (pdf) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/467902/LIT_3833.pdf
