Environment Agency Automated Flood Warnings
We are committed to safeguarding our flood warning service during periods of industrial action. Therefore, during periods of industrial action, the Environment Agency’s flood warning system will automatically issue flood alerts and flood warnings so people are warned and can take action to protect their lives and livelihoods. During periods of automation flood alerts and warnings may be issued with different lead times, under different conditions and with limited community specific information.
Our teams are continuing to work hard to ensure we are as well prepared and resilient as possible. Our main aim remains to ensure public safety, avoid damage to the environment, and to sustain our critical operations, including responding to flooding and other serious incidents where there is a risk to life.
We have listened to feedback on how the temporary automated system works and are looking at how we can improve it for this period of action. We encourage people to continue to take heed of all flood alerts and flood warnings, and to call Floodline on 0345 988 1188 if they have any concerns.
