I’m writing this as I look out of the window on a lot of snow as rain is falling and everything is very wet, and is set to stay that way for some days to come….and all that water will have to go somewhere in the next few days.
Minera has had its fair share of flood damage in recent years, and extreme weather is getting les and less unusual, so the following message which we received from Gocompare is worth sharing – please pass it on to anyone you know who might benefit from it.
According to the Environment Agency, over two million people in England and Wales live and work in properties at risk of flooding from rivers or the sea, whilst more face flood threats from groundwater, surface water, sewers, and reservoirs.
At Gocompare, we have put together a guide to preparing for a flood and protecting your property – https://www.gocompare.com/
In extreme conditions you won’t be able to stop flood water, and you should always put personal safety above attempts to protect property and possessions. Despite this, there are steps that you can take to keep water out, to buy yourself time to preserve property and possessions, and to limit the damage that flood water does.
