UK Environment Agency urges flood preparedness for 'Flood Action Week' amid potential flood risk, coinciding with Storm Babet anniversary.
The UK Environment Agency is urging residents to prepare for potential flooding during the annual 'Flood Action Week,' coinciding with the anniversary of Storm Babet, which caused significant flooding in 2021. Nearly 2,150 properties were flooded during that storm, despite protections for about 96,900. Experts attribute increased flooding to climate change. Officials recommend checking flood risks and signing up for warnings to enhance preparedness.
