Personal flood plan

who can prepare your property if flooding is expected when you are at work
what you will need if the road is flooded and you can’t leave your home for some time
how to contact friends and family if the phone networks are not working
making a note of when your pumps or other permanent flood products need servicing

where to find your flood kit
where you will go and how to contact each other
a list of important contacts
