We have seen over the last few years that amber flood warnings have become more frequent in the East and South East of England, echoing the unfortunate events of the past.

Various regions on the coast such as Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft have experienced the effects of tidal surges. Other areas that have been at risk of flooding include the Norfolk Broads. As recently as December 2023, there were flood warnings raised in areas such as Potter Heigham with many aware of how quickly the water level can rise and impact homes and businesses. 

In 2021, many towns and cities, including London, were adversely impacted by floods, creating distress for families and businesses alike. Proximity to rivers, streams, and water sources increases the risk of flooding. If your location is close to a water source, it’s crucial to recognise that you are in a high-risk area for potential flooding.
