In the light of the recent heavy rain, the Wiltshire Council Flood Defence Officer has issued the following advice:
- Report flooding to highways via the My Wilts App – staff are out and about across the county
- Report any instances of internal property flooding – if we don’t know about it we can’t help – use the My Wilts app to report in the first instance and email the drainage team drainage@wiltshire.gov.uk
- Check on vulnerable neighbours or properties at risk and deploy property defences if you have them
- Take photographs and information about any flooding such as nos of properties affected, approximate depths and flow path and email them to us.
- Do not enter flood water
- Be mindful of staying safe when out and about and let other people know if you have to go out in the bad weather
