Help is at hand for anyone in Oxfordshire wanting to take action to safeguard their homes or businesses against the effects of flooding.

 

Access the Flooding Toolkit

The Flood Toolkit website brings together all the information you need to take action against the potential menace posed by flooding.

In the toolkit you will find advice and guides to help you whether you are a resident, community group or business.

Interactive illustrations give visual inspiration for ways people can protect their properties and highlight some of the areas that would not instantly spring to mind, such as the garage, air bricks and cable holes.

Prevent the worst effects of flooding

County Councillor Rodney Rose, Deputy Leader of Oxfordshire County Council, said: “Knowledge and preparation is the key to preventing the worst effects of flooding.

“There is much that can be done to plan for and deal with flooding so that it affects you as little as possible.

“Doing your research and taking action now is far more effective and preferable to clearing up afterwards.”
