Civil Emergencies - Flooding
The Environment Agency is the organisation responsible for flood
defence and flood warning in England and Wales as well as the
issuing of flood warnings to the public, and it reports directly to
central government.
Bath & N.E Somerset Council works closely with the
Environment Agency and the emergency services to plan for and
respond to flooding events that may threaten life and property.
In addition to these important measures, members of the public
can take actions to help themselves. A range of practical hints and
tips relating to what to do before, during and after a flood are
provided by the Environment Agency.
