Residents wishing to use sandbags to help protect their property are required to source their own. They are of some benefit against flooding but should not be used as a first line of defence.

 

The National Flood Forum has details about insurance and guidance on protecting your property.

Information about flood protection products is available here: http://www.nationalfloodforum.org.uk/blue-pages/

There is guidance from the Environment Agency on how to use sandbags here: (pdf) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/467902/LIT_3833.pdf
