The Floodline Service
Floodline is a public information service providing current
flood alerts and warnings, together with advice on what to do
before, during and after a flood.
The service is provided through a dedicated 24 hour telephone
helpline (0845 988 1188) and the SEPA
website.
What information can Floodline provide?
- A general alert or Flood Watch, if SEPA staff are concerned
that river, tidal or weather conditions indicate that flooding is
possible. In certain areas there may be a local flood warning
scheme where more detailed alerts, Flood Warnings and Severe Flood
Warnings are available. You can call Floodline to find out if there
is a flood warning scheme for your area.
- Listen to recorded messages providing up to date information
about any flood alerts that are in force in Scotland, England and
Wales.
- Speak to one of our trained operators who will provide
immediate practical advice on what to do before, during and after a
flood.
- Ask the operators for a quick-dial number, giving you direct
access to any recorded flood warnings for your local area.
- Request Floodline factsheets and other flooding related
material.
